True Image Restore and Vmware Agent

Hello,       
which is the best way to have a sort of True Image Restore with Vmware Agent?

As stated in docs "A true image restore (TIR) restores the contents of a directory to reflect the contents of the directory at the time of an incremental or a full backup. Files that were deleted before the backup are not restored."

With vStorage API method we backup the Vm and we may restore single files, but what about restoring entire directory without including those files that were deleted at any time between start and end date?

A way could be restoring the entire Vm and extracting the directory.
According to you there is a smarter way?

It is a dirty job if you have one full monthly backup image and daily differential incremental backup images...

Suggestions are welcome,
Thank you,


Andrea
