The file size of the file I'm searching for is less than 10 kB. It's a relatively small text file which got some subsequent additions in the last days, but hasn't been part of the backup job yet.
There have been some good suggestions. I would use a large buffer with dd, say 1M or more, both for speed and to reduce the chance of hitting only part of the search string.
For the future, look at sysutils/rsnapshot. Easy to set up, space-efficient, and provides an easily-accessed file history.
