That's pretty slick! I like it.
My backup tool of choice (rdiff-backup) handles these sorts of comparisons pretty well, so I tend to be confident in my backup files. That said, there's always the edge case, and this kind of function is a great solution for those. Thanks!
I prefer demos to break once or twice, both when watching and when delivering. When I present something, I always do everything live for the opportunity for something to break: when it does, I get to show the audience how to deal with unforeseen problems, or else I learn something new (sometimes from an audience member who knows how to fix the issue).
A side benefit to this is that I don't ever have to prep slides for talks I give; the presentation is too busy with a live demo to dwell on a slide deck.
