Re: [BackupPC-users] Fwd: Restore with command line

I find it rather Direct Restore, but I wonder if it is possible the same procedure from the command line, this should not have BackupPC web interface

Thank you

I don't know how to do the exact sort of restore that is done through the
web interface, I never allow my backup server root-level write privileges on
the host being backed up.

What I do when I want to restore is use BackupPC_tarCreate to generate a tar
stream, then pipe that through netcat. On the machine being restored to, run
netcat to listen for the tar stream, then pipe the output to tar to unpack
the stream.
