I assume you could skip the immediate tar file step (untested):

  rsync -aPv /var/lib/backuppc/cpool $host:/var/lib/backuppc/
  sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc |\
     ssh $host 'tar -C /var/lib/backuppc/ -xvf -)'

off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
