 there is a trick in this case:

 alternate restore from one Unix box to another Unix box, using the
WinNT backup/restore client:

 when you launch the restore, the pop up will show you something like
"root:\mrtg\" instead of /root/mrtg in my case.
 keep the same syntax when typing the directories. i want to restore in
/tmp, so i type in the destination: "tmp:\mrtg\".

 then in the restore log, check it's working:

03:34:12 (1490.001) INF - Beginning restore from server diane to client diane.
03:34:14 (1490.001) /root/mrtg/do_it_all.sh
03:34:14 (1490.001) Changed /root/mrtg/do_it_all.sh to /tmp/mrtg/do_it_all.sh
03:34:14 (1490.001) (1490.001) INF - TAR EXITING WITH STATUS = 0
03:34:14 (1490.001) (1490.001) INF - TAR RESTORED 1 OF 1 FILES SUCCESSFULLY
