Now, when I'm restoring stuff via the following command:

"usr" should probably be "/usr", unless you specifically
used a syntax in disklist like:

    servername usr /usr {
        comp-usr-tar
        } 1

(with this syntax you can give a name to a disklistentry
that is different from the toplevel directory or diskdevice).

Warning!  I guess you're just testing.
Be careful not to be positioned at root, first
cd to some safe directory.  Otherwise you'll overwrite
/usr with the backup data.
