I'm answering not exactly to your question, but you might be interested in this : If you consider using ZFS as BackupPC's filesystem, there is the awesome combo : zfs snapshot # makes a snapshot of you filesystem, for instance on a daily bases zfs send snapshot | ssh backback "zfs receive" and your filesystem will be exported on host backback AND you will be able to travel in time by munting the daily snapshots.
