MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.9 selective restore

Hello Dear Community,
I'm looking to implement MySQL Enterprise Backup for a master-slave MySQL replication setup. Some of the hosted databases are undergoing weekly updates in the form of controller releases and thus the requirement to have a backup tool in place which can do selective database recovery with point in time capability a plus. I've read through pretty much all the the documentation for MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.9 and couldn't find anything on restoring individual databases to an InnoDB engine. From what I understand it comes down to a full file level restore with log replay as far as how this tool works?
Is it not possible with mysqlbackup to restore an individual database from, for example a full image backup, or did I miss something?
Host: RHEL 6.4
MySQL Server: 5.5.28-enterprise-commercial-advanced-log
MySQL Enterprise Backup: 3.9 (last EL6 supported release)

3.9 is an older version. 3.12 and 4.0 are the latest releases.
Transportable Tablespace support was added in 3.10 and would not be mentioned in the 3.9 docs.
