I backup my macOS user folder `/Users/myuser` with kopia every day.

When I restore (via the KopiaUI) the files from `/Users/myuser/testfolder` to `/Users/myuser/testfolder-restore` (I have to specify the target dir in the UI), the `testfolder-restore` folder has the wrong permissions and date. The files in that folder all have the correct permissions and date.

Instead of `0755` it has `0555` and the date is `1969-12-31 19:00`.

Is there a way (UI or command line) to restore `/Users/myuser/testfolder` with correct permissions and timestamp (this information is after all stored correctly in the snapshot)?
