1) would this work as a base for a tar based fs?

http://avf.sourceforge.net/

2) any reason why http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-extracting-specific-files/ trick will not work for extracting individual files?

zbackup restore /my/backup/repo/backups/backup-`date '+%Y-%m-%d'` | tar -xf - --wildcards --no-anchored '*.php'

yes, you would like to have a cached, complete tar file if you are picking through for individual files either with a tar command or one of the archive manager tools. at the same time, if you know what you are looking for, you should be able to pick through on the fly.

1) Not yet.

2) It will work as you expected with one exception: ALL of your "backup-`date '+%Y-%m-%d'" data will be piped to tar so there is no advantages over restoring complete tar archive and untaring it then as usual.
