Its not really easy to backup a backuppc, read in the mailing list rsync is not 
a good idea because there a lot of hardlinks.

Whats the best way to creat offline backups?

 I don't think there is a way within the web interface to add components 
 to the archivehost pipeline instead of sending the output to a device or 
 directory.  However, this is just a wrapper around the 
 BackupPC_tarCreate command line tool anyway.  Just run it directly from 
 the command line (or via ssh if you want the output somewhere else) and 
 pipe it to a tar extract in the location you want.
