And if you want to unmangle the paths and remove the
/var/lib/... prefix, try this:

find /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/machine/backnumber -name "attrib" | ( while IFS= read 
-r FILE ; do sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_attribPrint 
"$FILE" | head -n -2 | perl -s -ne "$/=' }';if(\/'([^']*)' => {.*'type' => 
([0-9])+/s){\${-name} =~ s|/var/lib/BackupPC/pc/[^/]*/[^/]*||; \${-name} =~ 
s|/f|/|g; print \"\${-name}\$1 \$2\n\"}" -- --name="${FILE%attrib}" - | tail -n 
+2; done)
