Your friend is inc/class_restore.php

Actually restoring is not done directly, but a bash file is written. You
can find these bash-file (as well as created php-files) in your backup
directory under the directory current/process/cmd

Every file in there is being executed and after that deleted.

the db stuff is to handle what has been backupped. You do not really
have to understand that in detail. Just pick it from the other stuff.

I have implemented the rsync_ssh backup method. 

Afaik has Rene implemented something with sftp, isn't it, Rene. 
(but i think the method is called rsync_ssh, cause it is implemented
in conjunction with the access data of the rsync_ssh backup method)

Well I think sftp is the coolest way to make a restore again.

Well you just have to jump into it. Just checkout the cvs stuff and jump
into it.
