Yes - it works fine against the user data.
Backup to tape @ remote site using 10d.
Restore from tape from 10d media server to driveletter:\cpsbackupdest\hostname\driveletter\"data folders" , for instance, "G:\remotesite\HOSTNAME\F\*DATA*"
once this is complete and the agent is loaded on the remote host a sync is kicked off 'over' the restored data. It appears information concerning the files is being updated (metadata), but files already in place are not overwritten/syncd. Only new files created since the backup are being moved over.
Note - once the sync kicks off the newly protected host has all the data that's recoverable listed from the restore tab on the cps server.
