Hi, I don't know back-in-time. A good GUI tool to restore rdiff-backup is rdiffweb : http://www.rdiffweb.org/ I've been using rdiff-backup for several years and just discovered and tested rdiffweb. Babkup still needs to be scripted, but rdiffweb offers users the GUI power to restore any file/directory at any time. Hope this helps.
