You can sort-of accomplish that using 'find' on the command line at
the top of the backup tree with a pattern that may need to allow for
the filename changes used in the archive. But, I agree that having
it as an option in the web interface would be great - and there it
could even be aware of what host(s) the user is allowed to access.
