I've looked at (but still looking). Whole drive, yes. Sometimes an
individual folder. Recovery of a single file doesn't seem to be a common
feature, if included in an entire system backup.
Care to share what program you use? (If you'd rather not advertise, but
would consult by e-mail, I'll give you a good address to use.)
Thank you for your consideration.

Larry, assuming your user agent correctly describes you're using Windows
7, there's no problem whatsoever restoring single files using the
built-in Windows Backup and Restore. Restoring an entire SeaMonkey
profile from a Windows 7 backup should only take a few minutes over a
wired network.
Fighting with MozBackup + SeaMonkey only seems to make sense, to me,
with regard to moving a profile from one computer to another.
My main system and laptop are both running Win 7 and the drives are
partioned exactly the same, exact same folder structure. I periodically
copy my SM profile over the network to the laptop to keep it up to date
since most of my work is on my main system. I do this with a batch file
that checks to see if SM is running on the laptop and kills the process
before copying the profile.
I do the same with another laptop running XP. Since the paths are
different on XP and W7 I load prefs.js into my text editor (EditPad Pro)
and run a macro that replaces the W7 path strings with XP paths.
