on backup server:
cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<hostname>/<backupnum>
find . | egrep -i "string1|string2|string3"

You can omit the backupnum if you want to find the file in older
backups, and/or omit the hostname for multiple hosts.

Short answer, no, long answer, probably in the next version, if that
ever gets written/released. A new release doesn't seem overly likely
given the lack of progress announcements over the past years (IMHO)...

Adam
