Windows 7 Backup contents/inventory

$

Many years ago I configured Window Backup to do incremental backups.  But it would regularly start new full backups on me.  This has led to a lot of duplicate backups of files that have not changed.  Since most of what I'm backing up is pictures and digital home videos, disk space has become an issue.  I would like to delete backups that contain files that have already been backed up.  But I can't figure out a way of easily listing the contents in each back up set.

I even tried restoring a few of them and  then using a diff tool, but this too is problematic in that when I restore to an alternate location, it doesn't just write the files from the selected backup set.  Instead it appears to combine  the backup set I select with previous backup sets to give me all the files that existed at that point in time.

Is there any way list or, ideally, extract the files out of the WBCAT files?
