The file is compressed and doesn't have correct attributes since it is a 
link that may be shared by many instances.  You can use these command 
line tools to access the backups directly:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#commandline_restore_options
You could use BackupPC_tarCreate through ssh, of course, to restore 
elsewhere.

Or you can use the server's restore option or download a tar or zip copy 
through a browser.
