In the example you showed, the file contents have digest 4b544ad7b8992fbbc0fafe34ae6ab5d5. You can pass that directly to BackupPC_zcat if you want, which will uncompress the file to stdout, eg:
BackupPC_zcat 4b544ad7b8992fbbc0fafe34ae6ab5d5 | wc The pool directly tree is described in the documentation <https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#Storage-layout>: For V4+, the digest is the MD5 digest of the full file contents (the length is not used). For V4+ the pool files are stored in a 2 level tree, using 7 bits from the top of the first two bytes of the digest. So there are 128 directories are each level, numbered evenly in hex from 0x00, 0x02, to 0xfe. For example, if a file has an MD5 digest of 123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0, the uncompressed file is stored in __TOPDIR__/pool/12/34/123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0. In your example, the file will be at (assuming compression is on): __TOPDIR__/cpool/4a/54/4b544ad7b8992fbbc0fafe34ae6ab5d5. The two directory entries are the first two bytes (4b and 54) of the filename, rounded down to the nearest even number (ie, 4b -> 4a, 54 -> 54). Numerically it's anding with 0xfe.
