The files weren't deleted, they've just been sitting on my hard drive
for months, being backed up..

I'd expect this behavior if I deleted the files but *certainly* not if
the files are still on my hard drive, untouched.

BTW, this seems to only happen on the samba-based backup; if I do a
restore of any of the local Linux partitions, or even the remote linux
partitions, the restore goes normally.

Something is happening with Samba and I don't know why it would make any
difference.. The restore of the Linux partitions looks identical in the
logfiles, yet Tar deletes the directory/files upon restoring the
incremental when doing the Samba'd backup.

I'm at my wit's end here -- does this give any clues?
