The archive function doesn't copy the pool. It copies out a tar image
of the last backup of the specified host(s). You can't restore the
pool from it, but you could restore one or more hosts to the state
of the corresponding backup run.
The simple way to restore would be to copy all the files back to
a directory on a hard drive, then zcat * | tar ... but if you
don't have enough space you might write a script that prompts for
each one, mounts it, zcat's the file and repeats, piping all
the output to tar.
