  I know this isn't a real solution per se, but if you're in a current 
situation that you need a quick solution to...there is the possibility 
of doing something like this (at the shell prompt on the BackupPC 
server):

cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc (or wherever you keep your backups)
find -name '*somename*' -print

  You may also want to play with '-mindepth', '-maxdepth', '-prune', 
and '-iname'...but in general I'm just saying you can use the search 
utilities of the underlying OS as a workaround.

[BackupPC-users] Feature request for BackupPC: Search backups

It is hard to find files in the backups by browsing. If there were a
search feature that allowed you to search one or more computers
backups that would be great.
