To do it directly from directories, you could try changing 'zcat' to 
'tar --strip-components=X' and point it at the directory. Set X to match 
the number of path components that should not be included for the 
archive to make the structure equal to that of the actual host to be 
backed up. For example 1 would strip home from /home/backup, so that the 
archive looks like it starts at backup/.

Tar complained unless I added the 'c' but it's still erroring out for me. Were 
you thinking something like this?

tar c --strip-components=4 /home/backup/my_web_server_backups/todays_backup/

There has got to be an easier way to import local data into a backup pool for a 
specific host...

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
