To achieve that, as you have many common parts to all backups, the best
is to keep a logbook, either a manual one or better: use the comment
possibility for each backup.

For example, when I migrated some big data from one server to another
among several days, I changed my (manual) script to ask for a backup
comment where I wrote down the main changes - this way, when I was
absolutely sure there was no data corruption on the new server and
several days had passed, I was able to destroy all former backups from
the original server up to the day after the migration, recovering a lot
of place.
