Sebastien I also use Flexbackup in the same situation as you and there does not appear to be a remote restore option. If you have ssh working properly on both machines, that is you can ssh to either machine from the other, then the following should work: ssh into your remote machine and change to the remote directory that you want to restore into. Enter any mt commands to position the tape on your local machine by using mt -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/tape <command> where user is the user on your local machine, localmachine is your host name for that machine and /dev/tape is the tape device name that you normally use. Enter afio -i <any afio options here> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/tape You may get a 'broken pipe' error at the end of the process but it appears to work for me. You could try afio -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/tape first just to try it out.
