Ok, so what would go into the restore command then? Would I just replace the restore command with the whole line above? I am thinking not as it wouldn't be dynamic since it has the directory names in there. I have no issues of skipping SSH just as long as I know what I need to put into the restore command in the config file. Sorry, as mentioned in my original email I don't know that much about Backuppc.
