Hi Timothy,
Thanks for your comments, unfortunately however I think you're missing my point.
I very much like the way Backuppc handles backup, dedupe etc. and to use this
on the local site to handle the backups of each individual client would be

The reason I need a like-for-like ready-to-use copy is so that in the event of
a disaster I am able to bring a disk unit to the client as a "drop in and

As my original post states, am aware that backuppc is not designed to achieve
my offsite-ready-to-use-most-recent-copy which is why I tried the fuse module
and was asking more for suggestions or alternatives to the module
I wouldn't want to rsync /var/lib/backuppc as this is not in a format that
can be readily used.
What I'm after is a ready to use snapshot, As it looks on the server I'm
backing up or what it would look like if using the archive host feature but
