Hi,

I am looking for a way to do an automatic redirected restore.
At the moment I am playing with an Archive Host and are doing the following:

1)      run BackupPC_archiveStart with ArchiveDest set to a local directory (at 
the moment /(var/tmp).

2)      When the archive process is finished I create a subdirectory in 
/var/tmp 
and extract the tar-file from step one into this subdirectory.

This approach works but uses a lot of disk space (almost two times) as the 
tar-file from step one must exist together with the extracted data for some 
time (at least until the "tar xvzf" is finished and I can delete the tar 
file). Is there/do you know of any way to "skip" the use of a tar file and 
directly "export/restore" the backup to a "redirected" location.
With redirected I mean it does not get restored to the original host and or 
location.

Regards,
