The solution adopted is to use BackupPC_archiveStart in conjunction with
$Conf{ArchivePreUserCmd} $Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} each running a mini script
to mount or unmount the encrypted disk.
This has exposed some odd behavior in BackupPC. The archive is produced in
...ArchiveName.tar.gz format. To obtain this result ...ArchiveHost/config.pl
must contain
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = '/bin/gzip';
Creating the archive consistently fails if the full path to gzip is not
specified. However, making a change and save via the BackupPC web page either
deletes this entry or changes it to "gzip" i.e. removes the path.
In either case archive creation fails until ...ArchiveHost/config.pl is
manually edited to restore the the full path /bin/gzip.
Is this really odd behavior or simply my lack of familiarity with BackupPC?
