Thanks, Byron! I guess that makes sense. I'll simply have the script
loop through each one, one at a time, since their will never be more
than a few, and they're not too big to prevent me from finishing them in
a single night. Thin is, I could recover from something like /path/, but
it makes it really hard to know exactly what was under there at the time
since the files are deleted every month, and there's no other listings,
and they're not consistent in terms of how many might be out there on
any given backup.
