This is probably getting repetitive, but backuppc provides a web 
interface where server 'owners' can browse their own backups, select 
what they want, and click a button to restore or download to their 
desktop.  It's not part of the distribution, but I think someone even 
has a fuse filesystem layer that gives normal-looking read access to the 
compressed/pooled storage.  I don't know if you can wrap samba on top of 
that, though - or what kind of performance it has.
