I noticed this in the early days of DDS, but wasn't sure if it was a fluke,
but the other day I had a chance to try it out on a 7.1.1 system, and it
still appears to work.  If you mount the required volume to the
destination's drive before you start the recover request, it should use
that "local" drive instead of sending over the network.
