The actual computer system that I am trying to restore - lets call super2 for want of a name. The backuppc file for super2 is #169. The actual data is kept on a second hard drive on localhost that is accessed thru /var/lib/backuppc/ . I found the instructions a bit confusing at this point as to what -h should be. It seemed a bit redundant to be calling out the computer that is running the commands.
