It's currently not possible to make a differential archive based on a previous extraction or a time-based option. Consequently, the script will have to download again a complete thread up to the first message.
Multiple implementations could be done:
1) Allow the possibility to specify a previous backup to complete only the delta since the last message
2) Allow the possibility to specify min / max tweet IDs with the arguments
3) Allow the possibility to specify min / max date with the arguments
