 I've used the following command to rsync backup one host to another, you
should be able to restore a rsync backup in a the similar way

/usr/bin/rsync --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt
--exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot --exclude=/etc/fstab -e ssh
-vazvH / root at hostname

if its local you should not need the -e ssh

ie. something like
/usr/bin/rsync --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt
--exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot --exclude=/etc/fstab -vazvH
<source path> <destination path>


Cheers,

Anthony
