[Box Backup] Snapshot restores

Hi,

Of all the backup systems I've evaluated (and tried) so far (Bacula, 
BackupPC, rdiff-backup, Amanda, rsync, BoxBackup), I've been most 
impressed with BoxBackup.  Encrypted storage, userland RAID, and storing 
only the diffs on incremental backups are all important to us.  I'm 
currently using rsync with some scripts I developed.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find a way to restore an old 
snapshot completely (yet) without manually finding each file and typing 
in the number.  This feature, if it's added, would be the icing on the 
cake that would persuade us to abandon our complicated rsync scripts.  
Is this in the plans for BoxBackup?  I would love to help test, even if 
I need to check out from SVN and compile...

All the best,
