I would like to just restore a single directory from a snapshot (or from a backup). Is that possible? How?

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
Not directly it is not, however you can do the following:
1.) Create a new droplet from your snapshot. 2.) SSH into your new droplet and use scp or rsync to copy over the directory you wish to access. 3.) Destroy the temporary droplet from the control panel.
Because you are only billed for the time a droplet exists doing this with (for example) a 512mb droplet would incur at most $0.01 in charges (since it is billed at $0.0074/hr)
