I think the current wizard-based approach is a problem, too. I was fiddling with Deja Dup's file restore and had absolutely no way of knowing what would happen next as I stepped through the process. Would it suddenly start murdering my home directory, replacing every single file in a slow crunch of madness, or would it let me select them one by one? Would I be able to select where to restore the files to?

A dialog that shows / enables options as they become available, with an obvious Restore button at the bottom to assure us that it won't do anything until we press that button, could be a gentler approach.
