While others have mentioned using BackupPC_zcat, there is another very slick solution using the FUSE filesystem that basically allows you to mount, navigate/browse, and read all your backups as a single filesystem. Advanatages include: - Not having to worry about the f-mangling of filenames - Automatic decompression of files when reading them - Links to 'latest' and 'oldest' backups
