Because I do not want to spend cpu time on ssh - And why not rsyncd for
local LAN. It should be done that way when encryption is not needed.

Yes it created the rootfs dir and put everything down to that folder.

Directory name (rootfs) is generated by backuppc - It think It is based on
the rsynd module name (if I named it differently then the foldername is
changed as well).
When doing restore and select download as Tar archive, all is fine, the tar
archive have no hardlink in it, and I can extract it correctly. I noticed
that there is no top level folder rootfs anymore.
So there might be somewhere when doing archive it add the top folder (from
looking at the frootfs and generated folder name rootfs and put all thins
under it, that confused tar.
