UrBackup makes it hard to test your backups

I tried to use the opensource backup software UrBackup. One thing they had done right is that there is a server and client part. It have a web interface like many backup softwares today. I dont like that. Desktop applications are better. Everything looked good until i came to testing the backup. There was only two ways to restore. Restore to original place or download a zip file. Testing a backup by restoring to original place is a bad way of testing a backup. I am not going to try to download 500GB zip file.
