Bug Description
When restoring, the user shouldn't have to think about whether a particular date's backup was full or incremental. In both cases, the full file list should be shown. Currently, when restoring from an incremental backup, only the files that were updated in that increment are shown.
Basically, when I restore from the Feb. 20 backup, I want to restore the full state of the filesystem on that date, not the diff between that backup and the previous one. Incremental backup should not mean incremental restore.

For what it's worth, I wholeheartedly second this comment.
This is a misfeature of sbackup, which I hope will be corrected in the long run, and which is only excusable because of the young age of this software.
