A slightly different approach would be to make an apache webdav module
with all the backuppc-specific parts. An assortment of tools can access
that directly and you can mount it with davfs (still needs fuse,
though). There is an implementation like this that runs over a
subversion repository for a similar effect. Subversion also has the
delta storage format - unfortunately it doesn't have a reasonable way to
delete anything from the repository. It would be nice if there were
some way to map backuppc's storage into a versioning system, though, so
you could use the versioning tools to see diffs over time or between the
same files on different machines.
