Maybe that should be documented more clearly. I could see where the
read-only version might be useful in typical operation where the host
'owner' could still use the web interface to download copies of old
files or directories but could not do a massive (and potentially
damaging) direct restore. But the admin should know what to tweak if
he does need that massive restore.
