10-4.....

Here is why I asked. I normally just let Backuppc run and never look at it 
much. The log from that server is below. The drive must have filled up after 
9/25 which I'm guessing is why you see the big skip between 9/25 and 1/4. The 
9-25 backup has the files and the next backup on 10/4 does not. About a week 
ago, a directory no one uses disappeared. I just wrote it off to some ding-dong 
hitting delete as it was on a common directory available to all users. The 
kicker is is that the files in the root directory of that server are only 
available to domain admins (one of which is the account I use let Backuppc to 
access the drives). I am perplexed.

No!  The only time it writes to a client is during a restore,
and that only writes files (meaning it might overwrite an
existing file, but doesn't delete a file).
