No version of Vault Server offers the ability to restore a single file. The only option is to restore the compete backup.

In my opinion it makes no sense to have one file restored from a Vault Backup. If you want to have one file(-version) restored: use the version-functionality on files of the Vault, which is designed to do the job. In case your Vault has been corrupted: have the Vault restored from backup.
Bottom-line: One of the Vaults primary goals is to prevent your data from losses. Therefore, be carefull with purging and deleting data from it. Try to find another way to clean up your structure in Vault, without deleting versions.

Why not restore the back up to a spare machine? - a single file could then be copied.

Why not restore the back up to a spare machine? - just to test the backups are valid!

Another option is to always keep a complete copy of all the latest version (a workspace copy), back it up and retrieve files from there where necessary. Using VaultMirror (in the SDK folder) you can easily keep this folder up to date.
