I've restored from bare metal before by installing a fresh FC6 with minimal packages (which doesn't take long) just to get all the partitions setup and grub installed on MBR and wot-not, then booted in rescue mode and used rsync to copy the backups over the top of the new install and get back exactly what I had at last backup. Seemed to work OK, haven't noticed any problems doing it (not that I do it frequently if I can help it :-).
