Yeah, my set has 11k volumes and I was kind of hoping to find a reliable way to
do it.

I can easily move the full backup, but the incrementals always have dates of the
incrementals they are based upon. I want to avoid having to parse dates in the
files (I'm just too lazy).

For now, I'll try to use filesystem date and hope it's accruate. Is there any
option to verify if the set is complete and no volume is missing, besides
restoring the whole set?
