Thank you! The list approved the attachment and I tested it on the server, though, there's seem to be a problem with the part that returns a list of hosts from the hosts file. Only the part of the hostname before the first dot(.) gets returned, not the complete hostname (example, 192 gets returned instead of 192.168.x.x). I'm pretty new to both linux and backuppc, and have no experience in python what-so-ever, can you identify the problem?
PS. I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Archive function
Attached is a script I execute from cron that deletes old archives in a configured directory and then starts new archives for all hosts except localhost. Feel free to use it as a starting point. Should run with minimal modifications on Ubuntu Server.
Not sure if the mailing list allows attachments or not, so if you don't see it, let me know and I'll paste it into an email. It's not very long.
