The tarCreate option can be a doable solution as a one-off since the 
rsync route may require more time to set up but web restores work. 
Basically it creates a tar that you can pipe back to your restore location:

BackupPC_tarCreate -h YOURHOSTNAME -n -0 -s / / | tar -x -C /tmp

Or, more elaborately for a remote host over a slow link running as 
another user than backuppc and ensuring all file attributes can be set 
when extracting, something like:

sudo sudo -i -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h 
YOURHOSTNAME -n -0 -s / / 2> /dev/null |pv -Cq -B 256 |plzip -1 |ssh 
SOMEOTHERHOST -- 'plzip -d | sudo tar -x -C /tmp'

They are actually documented well in the file itself (it is perl so not 
binary, i.e. you can read the file with 'less 
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_restore').

Let us know how this round goes.

Best regards,
