Great, thanks Tyler,

In the end I created a new BackupPC SMB entry and am restoring to that. Is working great.

Thanks again, Joseph

Try:

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat <file>

Exact path depends on distribution.

You can use a similar path to test BackupPC_tarCreate, which may tell you
why it is failing.

Finally, if you can use samba mount locally, you should be able to use the
BackupPC SMB backup method to remotely access the share instead of
accessing it from localhost.

Regards,
Tyler
