Don't see one, it's not like the SG is needed to do the restore, that would
be a chicken and the egg problem.

Hopefully the user will remember where they setup their DB Backups SG to
point to.  If they didn't use one, then they just have to look in their
recordings directories.  Hopefully they remember where those are.  I
assume (I know, don't assume) that any docs on this would mention where
to look in the event you need to do a restore.
