[Box Backup] Restoring at given time

Hi,

According to my understanding, it is not possible to restore a whole backup (or a whole directory) as it was at some given date/time in the past. I thought it was a 'given' feature for any backup system, but i can't find a way to do that with boxbackup... and it somehow doesn't seem to fit in the typical workflow described on the webpages.
I'm not sure neither, as I dont see this feature in the "planned features" or roadmap on the site. It seems to me that all the (meta)data is present so this is just an implementation problem. My questions are as follow:

1) Can you confirm this is not possible ? Or if it is, how i can achieve this ?
2) Am i the only one missing this feature ? It's hard for me to imagine a setup where this is not required.
3) is there something in the current design preventing to do this ?
4) is it planned somehow ?


best regards,
