No.  Stop.  It's not going to work.

The best thing I could recommend would be to automate a restore nightly, using 
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_restore, to restore to a directory on the 
server that you can then browse.  Your script that does this could then set 
whatever permissions you need.

flight. Communication will be prohibited, except for furtive glances with
the flight attendants -- who, incidentally, will be robots with tasers."
