Re: [BackupPC-users] Fuse filesystem to explore backups

Daniel,

I updated backuppcfs.pl for 4.x. I've attached the gzip'ed new version.

Unfortunately fuse creates its own inode numbers, so hardlinks won't be correctly rendered via fuse (ie: the inode numbers of two hardlinked files won't be the same when viewed via fuse).

Until BackupPC v3, I was using a script to mount BackupPC's data as a standard FS using FUSE (backuppcfs.pl from Pieter Wuille Based on the backuppc-fuse script by Stephen Day).

This was very handy (I have a specific use case for low level VM backups which requires this). But I guess it won't work anymore with the new v4 storage model. And anyway, it required BackupPC::Attrib which seems to have disappeared in v4

Is there an alternative or something similar in v4 ? A fuse FS like this would be great, even better if it was bundled with BackupPC v4 sources

Cheers

Daniel
