Ah sorry for confusing the issue. I forgot that you can do direct
restores via the web interface. I run with that feature disabled for
security so I didn't make the connection between the (unusual (to me)
format) output you posted and the web interface.

As Les followed up with, my method bypasses the web interface totally.

If you want the direct restore option to work, then getting ssh keys
is your first step.

Maybe http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html is of some help here?
