Hi, just a few comments without having tested your script (got my own that also connects and mounts the iscsi-volume before writing "tapes").

And its very strange to write the tars by default to the same directory where backpc stores its files. Also I noticed you skip "localhost" when creating a tar for each host. Don't do that. That hostname might be misleading in restore, but its a very valid setting to create backups from. Have fun, Arnold
