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.

You're right, it is getting repetitive, but thank you for the advice, I'll look into backuppc
ok, forget about rsync. forget about which backup script is better, and which isn't. forget about how I get the data onto the order server. I don't care about backups, or rsync, or backuppc or bacula or amanda, or R1soft
let's keep the question simple. WHICH filesystem would be best for this type of operation? SMB, NFS, or iSCSI?
