Restore Data Backup from 6.9F to 7F

Does somebody have an idea how to restore as much as possible from duplicity backup when a file is missing in the chain?

I extract it:

for t in duplicity-full.20180215T115508Z.*.difftar.gz; do tar xvf $t; done

Then I put the merged deltas to a file called content

find multivol_snapshot/ -type f -printf '%h\0' | sort -uz | xargs -0 -n 1 sh -c 'cd "$1" ; cat $(ls | sort -n) > content' spacer

Then I copy the content files to a new location:

#!/bin/bash
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
    mkdir -p ~/restore1/$(dirname $(dirname $line))
    cp $line ~/restore1/$(dirname $line)
done < "$1"

Now I can copy the files back to where they were:

cp -Rf ~/restore1 /

Is there an easier way???
