that looks wrong '--file-to-restore' takes a path/file argument, giving '/' will restore the whole backup. try eg. 
  --file-to-restore 'folder/my/file'
and it should only restore that file.

using --force is a bad idea. it'd be safer to restore to a temporary
location, verify the restored contents and move it manually to target
location.
