Shredder creates a SQL dump file that you can use to restore data. However,
restoring files in a wrong order, skipping some backups or after some changes
can result in inconsistent database. Where inconsistent means that DB can be
incomplete as you didn't restore everything or the current state of the DB
doesn't match state when data was deleted.

It may work, but sometimes would need maintenance on restore.
