yeah the tmp thing is not a problem - we are doing that. Ryan has written an excellent web interface we are seeking permission to release. However for large files, extracting it to temp and then piping it to the user takes a while. Space is cheap, time is money :)This would actually be a pain to add because rdiff-backup deals with files which have filenames, metadata, etc. Most of the functions deal at that level of abstraction. So instead of restoring $RESTORE_IN to stdout, why not write a script that goes like this: rdiff-backup -r xxx $RESTORE_IN $TEMP cat $TEMP rm $TEMP There may have to be a temp directory, but the users don't have to know about that. I guess the problem is temp space?
Cool, point 1 and point 3 are pretty similar, so I think if you can solve point 3 point 1 will work too. Ryan will look at point 3 as well - he might be able to shed more light on itWill keep this message unread and get back to 3 in a bit hopefully.
