This is harder than part 2, I think.  AFAIK, the only way to do this
is to do the steps in part 2, inside a loop (over the savesets for the
client and filesystem "name" in question), and then grep for the file
you're looking for.

You need to discover the numeric save time (nsavetime) of the saveset(s) in
question using an mminfo query, e.g.

        mminfo -q 'client=foo.bar.edu,level=full,savetime>=01/01/2004' \
                -r nsavetime,ssid,name

(when you're certain you've got the query right, you can get rid of the
ssid and name from the report)

Once you have the numeric savetime, you use that and the client name with
`nsrinfo' to get the list of files backed up.
