I'm interested in customizing BackupPC's archive feature to send the data to Tarsnap instead of creating a local tarball. Has anyone tried this kind of integration? I understand that I need to change BackupPC_tarCreate, but I'm trying to figure out what the parameters that get passed to it actually represent. Does BackupPC_tarCreate get a filesystem view of the backup's contents or is it creating that itself?

Maybe it would be easier to just explode the tarball that the standard archive process creates and then call into Tarsnap, but that seems inefficient. I don't need the archive file.
