As outlined in the documentation:
su backuppc
cd NEW_TOPDIR
mkdir pc
cd pc
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc | tar xvPf -
I should run:
su backuppc
cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host2
mkdir 0
cd 0
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host1/0 |
tar xvPf -
