I don't use the restore button :-) I just cd to the directory and find the
file I need and copy it back (this is referring to the revision copies, e.g.
the files are back up as file(00).c file(01).c etc.) I haven't have the need
to restore an entire drive or directory yet (knock on wood) but I suspect it
should be pretty simple.The main back up just mirrors the directory
structure so you can use Windows Explorer to copy files/folders if you want.

So it's not like Mac's Time Machine where you go back to whatever date, but
a more traditional file based.

I'm pretty sure they have a 30 day demo trial.
