(Agreed, Unfortunately my work insist on Outlook/exchange, which horribly
screws with quoting, so apologies now for my reply looking odd)

Agreed, This is how I solved it as needed this now and quickly, for the sake of
completeness I'm pasting what I did. I might try and hack together the perl at
some point when I have the panic of a floored server/restore complete!
On the backuppc host I did:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h myhost.server.com -n 122 -s
"/users" '/' > /backups/backuppc/myserver.tar
mkdir untarred
cd untarred
tar --preserve-permissions --preserve-order --verbose -x -f ../myserver.tar
--wildcards --no-anchored 'index.*'
(As I'm wanting all files with index.* extracting, which preserves permissions
and directory structure)
tar pzcvf ../myserver_fixed.tar.gz .
Then scp the myserver_fixed.tar.gz over to the destination, untar and job done.
I know there are lots of easier ways but this is clear and did the job at the
time!
Cheers guys.
