Most of what you are saying doesn't make sense and/or is not workable
with straight backuppc.
But it can pretty much all be done using backuppcfs.pl which is a fuse
interface to the backuppc pc hierarchy including:
- Unmangled filenames
- Uncompressed files
- Correct ownership and permissions (assuming you have the user and
group names in your /etc/password and /etc/group files)
- Links to 'latest' and 'oldest' backups
See the Wikki and/or google the Usenet archive for details...
