Agreed, Kip.  Also note that as of 17.2, Deja Dup has a restore-missing-
files view, fixing the below issue from comment 1.

"1) Improve nautilus extension to allow restoring missing files. This is
presumably a big use case ("Oh, I just deleted that file, stupid me")."

So the only thing missing now is:

"2) Add a screen to the restore wizard to offer to restore certain
files, and let the user pick ones from the backup."

I anticipate adding a simple screen in the wizard to pick files/folders
from a folder tree for a first pass at this functionality.  For a future
iteration, it would be nice to add support to nautilus for "browsing" a
backup in some fashion, which would allow restoring in a more intuitive,
drag&drop manner.
