What would be really cool for restoring is if Bacula didn't need to enumerate the entire directory tree to do the file selection. Aside from the 'restore everything' jobs, most of the restores I've done have only been for a handful of files. It would be nice if Bacula would just enumerate what it needed to, eg at the start Bacula loads / into memory. If you then want to see /usr/ it enumerates that, and so on.
