Agreed there. Backuppc doesn't know much about tapes and nothing about changers. But for straight long-term archiving you could wrap a script around BackupPC_tarCreate to save whatever you wanted off to tape. And you are on your own for restoring it, but it might be an advantage to have a standard tar archive than something only a certain program knows how to access.
Amanda's dumps are standard tar archives and can be restored without Amanda.
