I’ve not seen this behavior persist—that I know of--but I’m still concerned
about the fact that it happened. Does anyone have further thoughts?

Rsync, runs as root, all backups were completed at the time of attempted
recovery.
I’ve looked through the logs regarding one of the cases and found that the
directory does not appear in the backup log on the day of the attempted
restore, nor the day before. It is, however, in the backup log from two days
before.
Thanks for your help,
Wade

Wade,
What XferMethod are you using? Does the backup run as root, or as a
non-privileged user? Did the 11:00 backup finish before 15:00?
If you look in the XferLOG file, do you see that the file was backed up?
Similarly for the directory?
Craig

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
