There should be an "advanced" option somewhere which allows you to select
files. When you're finsihed revert to "basic" mode. Are you restoring from
desktop or card?

While the free BackupBuddy does not allow selective restore, it conveniently
puts the memory files in a single backup folder on the SD card. And that allows
you to then selectively restore them from that backup folder with a (free)
program such as Filez. Perhaps that workaround is one of the reasons that they
don't provide the free version of BackupBuddy any more...
