If you have a backup on that date or the day before you can use that to 
compare and find files that appeared after.  If you actually still have 
incremental backups from each day then the files your interested in will 
be newly appeared on the 7th, not present on the 6th, and checkable for 
mods or time stamp changes on any backup thereafter.  Just tar tvf your 
tar backup (if that is what it is) to a file to get the listings of the 
tape contents.  Then you could diff to your hearts content.
