One of the things I like about Tarsnap compared to other off-site backup
services is that it's nicely scriptable so I can manage what gets backed up
and when from one central server just like BackupPC itself. By the same
token, though, Tarsnap is not very convenient to run from the individual
PCs because some of them are Windows and I'd need to deploy scripts to run
it periodically through Cygwin.
I'll take a look at the FUSE filesystem. Thanks for the tip! I'm guessing,
though, that it won't be any more efficient than just exploding the archive
to a /tmp directory and having Tarsnap walk through it there.
