The command line is not "too complex for me". It is badly designed. I simply wanted to restore a single file to its original location. so I set / as the destination, gave the file-to-restore option, and had to use --force because, ehh, it told me so. You may be right about my manners, but this is still incredibly wrong. If I tell a tool explicitly to do action X "restore a file", why does it instead delete all files, pretty much the opposite of what I told it to do?Yes, you will now say that "it works this way" and "read the manpage" etc. but no amount of discussion will change the fact that this tool is badly designed. It may have a great core engine, but the mere fact that this tool needs another "meta-tool" (duply) mounted on top as a clutch should tell the author that something's wrong with it.
