I haven't tried the fuse approach, but note that for single
directories, you can use the 'history' link to see which files have
changed and when, and gnu tar has a --compare option so you could
generate a stream via ssh/BackupPC_tarCreate and compare to the
current filesystem or at least only have to restore one.
