No. Localhost is the system where backuppc resides and where the stored 
backup files are kept. The actual computer system that I am trying to 
restore - lets call super2
for want of a name. The backuppc file for super2 is #169. The actual 
data is kept on a second hard drive on localhost that is accessed thru 
/var/lib/backuppc/ . I found the instructions a bit confusing at this 
point as to what  -h should be. It seemed a bit redundant to be calling 
out the computer that is running the commands.
