Yes, that's true. But although it may be a pain to search through it, it's |
| 7 |
already a good step forward to even have that capability. AFAIK no traditional |
| 8 |
backup system has content search capabilities. One can usually only tell it to |
| 9 |
restore a set of files as of a specific date. You have to restore first, then |
| 10 |
check the content and iterate that until you finally found the version you |
| 11 |
want. |

Now, with those rsync based backup tools, you get a plain copy of your data |
| 14 |
somewhere, so you can reverse that process. You can search through it using |
| 15 |
find/grep/awk/whatever (or even use one of those desktop search engines to |
| 16 |
index the whole backup like you would do for your home directory) and then |
| 17 |
restore exactly the version you want. |
