Differential backups...

Hi,

I'm performing Full weekly backups, and daily Differential backups.

If I need to restore a single file that has been changed, since the last
Differential backup, do I only need the Differential backup?

I keep reading that you need the last FULL & Differential backups to restore
files, however, I believe this may only apply when I need a COMPLETE restore
or all files.

I just want to pull a file off a Diff backup that has changed from a day or
so ago, so I only need that Diff backup to restore this file, correct?

Thanks,

MP

Correct.
