It actually takes 4 arguments:
restore HOST_IP HOST_NAME REQ_USER REQ_FILE_NAME
HOST_IP and HOST_NAME are the target of the restore (not the
original host). You can typically set HOST_IP to the HOST_NAME
provided BackupPC can figure out the IP address (eg: DNS, NMB).
All the other information is in the req file. You can look at
lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm to see the code that writes the
request file.
