just in case anybody has the same problem, I found a solution that is working
for me (although I would prefer a more obvious way):
Restore the files to host xxx.xxx.tld
Restore the files to share <leave that one completely empty> <----
Restore the files below dir / (or whatever your dest. path is)
(relative to share)
Works because BackupPC sets dest path to / according to
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm (line 104):
$remoteDir = "/" if ( $remoteDir eq "" );
So ClientShareName2Path seems to be „overwritten" this way.
Best regards,
Tom
