There is a fuse-fs for browsing rdiff-backup repositories [1]. Passing options to fuse is going to be enabled in the next release. With allow_user set I should be able to mount my config backup as root, but browse it as a user.There's also a nice way to automatically exclude filesystems that do not correspond to block devices listed in /dev. E.g. proc, tmpfs, but also fuse. Haven't tried it yet, but this should work: rdiff-backup --exclude-filelist<(grep -v '\(^/dev/\|^rootfs\)' /proc/mounts | cut -d \ -f 2 | uniq) \ <other options> Best, Andreas [1] http://code.google.com/p/rdiff-backup-fs/
Yes I am aware of rdiff-backup-fs (but others may not be, so thanks for the reminder). It is the successor to archfs. I am waiting for it get beyond 1.0.0 too. I use rdiffweb (0.6.3) which works well.
Thanks for the tip re excluding filesystems.
