Yes, you could do it by emulating what the CGI interface does.

You will need to write a perl script that would create a restore
request file using Data::Dumper (see the CGI code for an example),
and then issue a restore command using BackupPC_serverMesg.

Be careful you don't end up with an infinite loop, where the
second restore triggers a third, etc...

See bin/BackupPC_archiveStart for an example of the basic steps,
since this script does a similar thing for archives as you want
to do with restores.
