I am planning to make this change within the next two major releases, so hopefully this will help improving usability around "archive_modified" option. Restoring from this becomes as trivial as copying stuff back, just like it is for the primary backup copies. So what I think needs to be done is to just create date/time tagged top-level folder in $Archive for every run that archives something and then store the files/folders there, as is. That's what the archiving was originally for, and this is why it uses this funky scheme of appending timestamps to the names. In particular, the main scenario was simpler users directing their backups at already populated folder, clicking through all the warnings and then wondering where the heck all their stuff went. It was originally done this way because archiving was meant to be a pure safety net feature to help people recovering from accidental deletes at source. In the Backups section, click Restore Backup. Click the iPhone icon to open the iPhone Summary screen. Connect the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. That, I think, has a simpler solution, which is to change the $Archive to NOT add timestamps to the archived file names. Open iTunes on the computer that you use to back up the iPhone. The only case where restoring support is justified is when restoring from the _archive_. I still think that restore functionality doesn't belong to the program, because it will still front rather trivial functionality and I am against adding features of this kind, especially if they will have a prominent UI presence, which will imply that they *are* more complicated that they actually are.
