Hmm, looks like you're right and I spoke too hasty.

I looked at the source of BackupPC_restore and I think it works like this 
(although my perl isn't very good, so please correct me if I'm wrong):
call BackupPC_restore with <hostIP> <client> <reqFileName> where <hostip> is 
192.168.0.5 and <client> is the dns name that goes with that (so backuppc 
knows which configfile to choose). <reqFileName> is the name of the file 
which contains a list of files you want restored relative to 
$TopDir/pc/<client>. I can't quite figure out what the format of this file 
is, so I'm guessing each file on a new line.
So you could do something like:

su backuppc
cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>
for i in '/8/fwww/fstats/*'; do echo '$i' >> tmpfile; done
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_restore 192.168.0.5 <client> tmpfile
rm tmpfile

which would restore everything using a direct restore in the stats directory 
of the docs module.

Note: I didn't test any of this, so I could be totally wrong! Please try on a 
test setup first :)
Also note: if this works, the standard caution applies as you are doing stuff 
the webinterface has no clue about, so you could do this just as backuppc is 
fiddling about with these files with all kinds of side effects.
