Is there a way to read a backup file to see if it contains a file without
restoring the backup file? We are missing a record from a table, and I need
to find out when it was deleted. We have nightly backup files of the
database. Is it possible, knowing the database name, the table name, and the
primary key value of the record, to determine if the record exists in a
certain backup file? If not, is there an alternate way to determine when a
particular record was deleted?

Thank you!
