how about just sorting the file list alphabetically and then selecting the
first file with full in the name (memorizing the timestamp of it) and keep
selecting until the next file with a different full timestamp, excluding it.

you could locally, or wherever verify the chain. that's a restore file by file
and compare with a checksum. it obviously only checks files existing at that
point of time of course, meaning files flagged as deleted before are not
checked.
but as a basic check that should suffice, as it would throw up on corrupt or
missing volumes/files.
