You can turn off compression with $Conf{CompressLevel} = 0; if you
don't care about the storage space.  Or just run BackupPC_zcat on each
file that you want to uncompress when/if you need it.   You can
generate a standard tar output with BackupPC_tarCreate, but that is to
extract copies - it doesn't replace the archive storage and pooling.

Depending on why you think you need this, one of the fuse filesystem
modules that others have developed might work.
