Archival of backups

First off, Tristan thanks for reply, glad you liked it. ;) 

I was wondering if people that use sarab, how they implement archival of
backups ( if they do at all ;) ). Currently I am using the
Grandfather/Son backup scheme but I would also like to have the week1
backups taken offsite. 

Has anyone come up with a way to more or less automate this process, I
am burning the backup to dvd+rw disks which suits me. Any interest in
having this automated or at least maybe "prepared" for the buring
process?

If there even a need/want to incorporate this feature?

Here is an idea to implement this

In rotation.schedule have a keyword that can be placed beside an exiting
line. This tells sarab that this backup should be archived as well. 

In sarab.conf add a new keyword such as ARCHIVE_SCRIPT. Once the sarab
completes a backup with the keyword in rotation.schedule it calls the
script listed in ARCHIVE_SCRIPT with parameters such as backup location
and basename. 

With this at least the archival process can happen, is flexible
according to how the user wants to handle backup archival, and keeps the
sarab.sh script as clean as possible.

Any thoughts?
