Currently if you want to restore a backup from a filebucket, you need to know 
the md5sum of the orignal file.  If you do not have this information in your 
logs, you have to search the filebucket tree manually and hope to find a match.

Luke's response is here:

I request that this restoration functionality be available from a node.  
Something like:

<pre>
filebucket --server mypuppetserver --node mynode --file /etc/passwd 
/home/johnp/restored_passwd
</pre>

would return

<pre>
r1 <md5sum here> 8192b Dec 03 07:14
r2 <md5sum here> 9012b Jan 15 08:19
r3 <md5sum here> 9489b Jan 28 10:20
Select file to restore [1-3]: 
</pre>

After making a selection, the file would be copied to 
/home/johnp/restored_passwd.  The command would be extremely useful in cases of 
emergency.

Also, I think some sort of index database needs to be made of all filebucketed 
files to 1) make the suggested command much easier to implement, and 2) enable 
transactional functionality.  A related feature would be a 'total system 
rollback', enabling you to specify a timestamp and all files would be returned 
to their state at said timestamp.
