Searches for matching files in the backup.
mixtape-search [<index>] <file>
Searches the backups for all files matching the <file> pattern. The
search can be limited to one or more <index> files, either with and index
id (e.g. @586efbc4), a named search (e.g. all, first, last) or a
partial timestamp (e.g. 2017-01) with optional glob matching (e.g.
20??-*-01). If no <index> is specified, all is assumed.
The <file> pattern supports glob matching (e.g. /etc/**/*.sh).
Avoid shell expansion of the pattern by using quotes (i.e. "pattern"). A
pattern starting with / will match an absolute file path.
By default, the oldest copy of each file version (a unique sha256sum) is
printed. Use --all to show all copies.
