Unless something has changed recently that is not true.

We would routinely restore the root file, a specific detail set and all masters
having paths into said detail for a variety of reasons (Data recovery,
re-generating reports, etc..) without any problems.

Of course the database that I'm referring had no TPI or Jumbo sets or any of the
newer features.  As long as we 'limited' our access to the restored sets we
would accomplish the needed task without any problems.
