Yes, that's true. But although it may be a pain to search through it, it's= =20 already a good step forward to even have that capability. AFAIK no traditio= nal=20 backup system has content search capabilities. One can usually only tell it= to=20 restore a set of files as of a specific date. You have to restore first, th= en=20 check the content and iterate that until you finally found the version you= =20 want. Now, with those rsync based backup tools, you get a plain copy of your data= =20 somewhere, so you can reverse that process. You can search through it using= =20 find/grep/awk/whatever (or even use one of those desktop search engines to= =20 index the whole backup like you would do for your home directory) and then= =20 restore exactly the version you want.
