BackupPC-devel, I have some proof of concept code at: http://unixtastic.com/software/backuppc-fuse.html
Basic functionality works, you can mount the filesystem and see all hosts, backups, shares. Reading files works as expected although seeking though them should be tested. Permissions are the same as those on the files when backed up. Modes, times, and owners should all be correct. There is no symlink support and some of the fuse subroutines have not been implemented. The link count on files needs fixing too. I have not carried out more than superficial testing.
