Yes... That's possible, but you have to hit it exactly right and you
have to wait for the full saveset recover to happen.  That will take
approximately as long as the backup took.  So if you have a 900GB backup
and you want 3 files, it'll take you hours and you better not have a
typo (or a misunderstanding of the filepath).

You need to have done an index backup at some point.  Either the default
where it is done with the job, or as a separate process where you just
save the indexes by themselves.
