I'm feeling a bit dumb about Backuppc_zipCreate but I finally figured it 
out.  Some people have figured it out on the mailing list but never put 
it in a really coherent statement so I thought i'd drop this tidbit on 
everyone

Backuppc_zipCreate -h host -n dumpNum -c compressionlevel -s sharename 
<space> directory > file.zip

dumpNum = number of the dump OR number counting backwards.  -1 is last 
backup, -2 is second to last. 27 is the backup numbered 27
compressionlevel = 0-9, the best balance is 3.  4 takes 15% longer for 
1-5% gain in compression, 5-9 take MUCH longer without a whole lot of gain.

Backuppc_zipCreate -h desktop1 -n -1 -c 3 -s docs /  > yesterday.zip

create a yesterday.zip from host desktop1 from the backup -1 days 
ago(yesterday) out of the share "c" and the directory "/" aka "root of 
c", you could also do -s "c /windows"

the important thing, that is not well described in the help text when 
you run Backuppc_zipCreate without options, is that for the "-s 
shareName" you need the share name, then a space, and then the directory 
under the share.  so if your share is "c" and you want everything, put 
"-s c /" NOT "-s c/"
