If you check my feature specification at [1], you might
notice there that the approach me and Ian Jackson have
followed, is make restore as less intrusive as possible:

".. We will have another screen between window 2 and
 window 3, that will allow a user to restore his data
 into and alternative location. The use case and
 rationale behind providing such and option is a user,
 who looses one file (knowing the file name). In the
 intent to get to that file, he doesn't want to
 overwrite the current state of his personal data but
 rather cherry-pick what ever he sees fit for him,
 from the alternative location to which data was
 restored."

Would you say this covers your mentioned use case as well?
