Les, thanks for your help. As for as the ssh goes, I had some trouble 
with permissions in the past and rsync slid right in with a minimum of 
fuss. It's done. It works.

I finally restored each main directory separately. This worked with 
everything except the 19.8 GB /home directory. I finally saved that one 
to a tar file an sneekernetted it over to the macine being backed up. 
This worked.I'm not sure what happened the first time I tried this. 
Maybe it's because I now have the -D switch set in inetd.conf. Or maybe  
the second time is the charm. I still have some minor problems but they 
are Debian problems that have nothing to do with backuppc. Once I get 
those straightened out I plan on doing a full backup and then try to do 
a full restore. I guess this was "just another f*****g learning 
experience". Wish me luck.

Again, thanks for the help.
