Did you want to restore to the original remote host or to a mounted
local filesystem? If the latter, and the problem is not having space
for the intermediate tar image file, then pipe the tarCreate command
output to an appropriate tar restore command. Note that the extract
will happen in your current directory unless you include a -C path
option, and ownership is going to be set according to the numeric user
id on the original file which may not match when on a different
machine.
