I understand, you mean a single file restore use case.
This is usually done by a agent in the VM and not externally, since changing the file system externally can cause corruption.

Ok ok

When you make a full restore you have a whole new VM, but what if you just need  just one directory? "/etc/puppet/environments" for example

So there is where granular backup works, because if you don't have that option you will have to restore the whole VM, copy that directory, then delete the restored VM

I don't know if my english is good enough to explain perfectly, but do you understand my point?

I believe that both full and granular restore can be done via the API as we support offset uploads, can you give more details on the different between these options?
