If you want to stay out of the command line, you still have the manual
option of holding down Ctrl while you click to select multiple things at
once (including entire folders) then doing copy and paste. It's a lot
better than one at a time! Back in time is the front end for rsync (from
what I recall being told), so it *should/may* have the possibly of excluding
or only including certain file types and files or directories that match a
pattern. Should also be possible to turn of the recursive so it only
restores data in the top level directory that you are in.

Command line option is similar to

rsync -r --include 'wildcarded pattern' --exclude 'wildcarded patern'
/backup/directory/path /new/directory/path

Would need to verify that though...
