OK, that makes a little sense now. The ssh/tar line is the remote
extract command and the BackupPC_tarCreate line is the local command
to send it the tar archive. Backuppc arranges a pipeline between
these commands. I normally use (and recommend) rsync instead of tar
so mine look a little different.
I still don't understand why the remote command is going to host
fichiers00 but it is being extracted from what must be configured in
backuppc as localhost. Do you have a ClientAliasName set for it?

Note that there are separate command settings for backups and
restores. And since restores aren't working, I'm guessing your change
isn't working...

Sometimes it helps to debug a problem if you compare the things that
work to the one that doesn't. The download version of a restore
should show the working BackupPC_tar_Create command line. If it is
the same as it is in the non-working remote restore, the problem must
be in the remote tar command part. Double-check the change you made
to the restore command and figure out why the hostname is different in
the 2 lines.
But, my 'big-picture' recommendation would be to switch to rsync if
possible, mostly because the incrementals will correct instead of just
looking at timestamps.
