the only way i can think of to do this may not be faster than restoring
everything... but anyhow... find the appropriate subdirectory beneach
dest/rdiff-backup-data/increments/ then issue a restore command for each
.diff or .snapshot file...
see the man page, search for "The second way to restore files"...
i think you have to issue an rdiff-backup for each of the files though...
so that's why it may not be faster.
