+It takes one path, looks for its backups, shows a list of distinct versions and
+allows to select one to be restored. Versions are based on the modification
+time of the file.
-Also allows to specify a time for automatic selection of the backup that has to
-be restored. If a time is specified, the script will automatically select the
-newest backup that is at least as old as the time value that is passed and
-restore it without further user interaction.
+It is also possible to specify a time for automatic selection of the backup
+that has to be restored. If a time is specified, the script will automatically
+select the newest backup that is at least as old as the time value that is
