A slightly different approach would be to make an apache webdav module 
with all the backuppc-specific parts.  An assortment of tools can access 
that directly and you can mount it with davfs (still needs fuse, 
though).  There is an implementation like this that runs over a 
subversion repository for a similar effect. Subversion also has the 
delta storage format - unfortunately it doesn't have a reasonable way to 
delete anything from the repository.  It would be nice if there were 
some way to map backuppc's storage into a versioning system, though, so 
you could use the versioning tools to see diffs over time or between the 
same files on different machines.
