The instruction I gave it is clear: RESTORE A SINGLE DAMN FILE. It was NOT: "ERASE ALL FILES"!

1. work on your manners, please.
2. use duply, if the command lines are too complex for you.
3. and most importantly, as a feature duplicity does not delete or overwrite anything on your local filesystem during a restore. it will complain that the tatget exists and fail. that's why you always have to restore to a temp location and mv it manually from there.
