David,

   How do you recover stuff from delta backups?  You have to figure which backup the file or directory is in, right?

   My backup recoveries, admittedly here at home, consist of me recovering files I stupidly modified incorrectly, and some accidentally deleted directories.  In the case of the directories, I noticed the problem several years after I did it.  Since I back up everything, all I had to do was pull out the backup Blu-ray from shortly after I worked on the directory.
