I also think (as Andrew does) that it is some rsync method. I'll look around and report back. Restore is pretty much like clicking on a file in the finder window inside the backup, and right click to restore. On the command level it can also be just copied with cp or as I often do with midnight commander (mc). It does not compress though, just file copies.
hm, ok, so there is no real magic, except in the GUI that it reproduces what the application looked like with that backup restored. I guess that means that we can do what it does already, and that someone just needs to write a nifty GUI for it. I have looked at several nice backup tools in the past, and while they have mostly been good and useful, none have had a really nice user interface, and the comment in wikipedia about being able to restore from backup during initial install sounds extremely cool. Sort of an alternative to a bare-metal restore Now I'm going to look at backintime that Tejas talked about.
