'Archive' hosts generate tar format copies of the last backup of the 
specified targets.  There are options for the location of the output, 
compression, and splitting into multiple files that you need to know for 
the right command to use for a restore, but basically it would be 
something like 'cat fileparts... |gunzip | tar -xf -  pattern'

Normally you'd only do this if you no longer have access to the backuppc 
server or the backups in question have expired since it is much easier 
to restore from the backuppc web interface or the Backuppc_TarCreate 
command line tool.
