Has anyone done any thinking about accessing backup files with FUSE
(Filesystem in UserSpacE) before?

I was thinking along the lines of a virtual filesystem that you mount on
(say) /bacula and you can browse backups via the mysql filesystem, eg
one or more of the following methods:

/bacula/bydate/<backup date + time>/<client name>/<contents of backup>
/bacula/byclient/<client name>/<backup date+time>/<contents of backup>

Actually accessing the contents of the file would require access to the
backup volume, but browsing the tree could be done via the mysql
database, and shouldn't be that hard.

This is just a random thought and not something I'd have time to do
anytime in the next couple of months, I was just wondering if anyone
else had done any work on such a thing.

Thanks

James
