I’m currently standing up a backuppc 4 server, and have a backuppc 3 server
still running, backing up the same systems.
I have had two instances recently where a user deleted a file at, say 15:00 on
Tuesday, but when I tried to restore it from a backup than ran at 11:00 on the
same Tuesday, the file was not there, nor in the 11:00 backup from Monday. I’m
currently between backuppcs, so I go look at my BackupPC3 server, and it has
the file from a 12:00 backup on Tuesday. Is there a reason that a deleted file
would not be present in a backup taken *before* it was deleted.
In one case (which I’ve misplaced the screen shot of, unfortunately), I had a
user come in having just deleted the wrong directory. I pulled up his files in
the backup, but there was no copy of that directory, which he had created one
week prior (~5 days worth of backups caught this directory). In the history
view, there was a row for the directory that was entirely red, without a single
version of the directory or its files. BackupPC knew about the directory, but
couldn’t give me a copy of it.
I’m concerned about restores in the future, if BackupPC4 doesn’t actually list
all the files in a given backup. Can anyone help me understand what’s going on?
Thanks for your help,
Wade
