If you backed up to .Mac there will be a directory Backup on your iDisk.
In that directory will be packages (directories appearing as one file)
containing the backups. There could be several packages for one backup.

The packages will have a name like
<backup name you chose> - Date/time - Part <part number>
IncrementalBackup 
or could be FullBackup at the end if first time it has run.

e.g. Migrated iDisk Plan - 2008.05.14-02.32.05.050 - Part
17.IncrementalBackup

The data in ~/Library/Application Sup****t/Bakup/Backup Library/ appears
to be the logs and catalog as packages. If you go into the package then
there is an Info.plist which has some information in the Target section
which appears to be where the data is actually saved.
