Hello, because of a need to restore files from backuppc in a more flexible way than through the web-interface (a particular directory in a whole bunch of hosts at the same time) and some googling, i stumbled upon Stephen Day's fuse system for backuppc.
It had a few shortcomings, such as not supporting share-names with "/" characters, and being very slow, so i started rewriting parts and adding some features. If anyone's interested at trying/looking at it: https://svn.ulyssis.org/repos/sipa/backuppc-fuse/backuppcfs.pl Some features: - caches the directory structure to improve efficiency - supports chardevs and blockdevs (and files/dirs/symlinks) - correct linkcounts for directories - merges all shares of a host into one directory tree structure, supporting '/' and '\' as separators in sharenames - open()ed filehandles are kept and reused to prevent seeking for each and every read operation - even supports efficient (sequential) reading when files are opened more than once at the same time. - incremental backups are shown correctly - some command-line options It is only tested on one 3.1 backuppc pool on a Ubuntu 8.04 system, and not very extensively. It only opens files/directories in read-only mode, thus shouldn't be able to damage a working backuppc pool if something goes wrong. I'd like to get some feedback; ideas, bugreports, ... are very welcome. -- Pieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
