Restore related:
1. Restoring a sub-directory and all contents underneath (files and
sub-sub-directories) 
(Am I missing the obvious here?) 
 
Navigate to the directory and 'mark' it. 

2. Restoring directly to a target directory instead of default  restore
directory.
I would assume temporarily change the value of entry "Where = " for the
Job type Restore.  
That's correct. Do it from the bconsole command line - you should have a
default restore job in your bacula-dir.conf file which you will be able
to edit from bconsole. 

3. If you have files located in different directories with exactly same
name but different content. How do you tell restore which exact file you
want to restore? 
Navigate to the file and mark the one you want. restores will restore
the directory structure. 

Backup related:
1. What is Bacula's definition of "Differential" backups? I'm still not
100% comfortable of my understanding. 

2. If number of tapes/volumes used on a daily basis are not of concern,
is it better to do daily incrementals or differentials? Which is faster
for a file restore?
Full on 1st Sunday. Inc's Monday to Sat. Diffs on a 2nd-5th Sunday would
be good I should think.
