The day I started work, we had the ability to browse and restore backups on our Solaris system via a Windows GUI. It was useful to retrieve archived data and job state like old logs. Within a month another graduate developer had accidentally restored the whole FS. We got to go home early, but had browse-only access from then on. Of course, we still retained write access to the whole FS because prod and dev were just different root directories and our deployment process was "cp" if you had CLI skills, or copy/paste in Windows Explorer if you like GUIs. We got an rm -rf runaway a little later, though only on home directories IIRC. The early 2000s were wild.
