IIRC file recovery from an rsnapshot backup consists of mounting the
backup filesystem and copying. Unlike some backup systems (including
Borg) the backup is simply a copy of the file tree with hard links to
reduce the number of physical copies. It's similar to Apple's Time
Machine (though Apple changed normal UNIX/Linux filesystem semantics to
allow hard links to directories, which rsnapshot doesn't do).
