Thank you Craig - I am running version 4.2.1 and perl 4:5.26.2 The list of backups does appear - 1-full and 5-incrementals. The dropdown (html select list) is populated with the 6 backups but when I choose any of them from the dropdown, the tree is missing other than "Contents of /" and below that is "The directory / is empty".
It looks like I don't need to click the "GO" since a change in the selected backup fires an event to display that result at the top directory level. Sorry for any confusion. With further reading and thought, it may be important to mention that the full backup was 45 days in age. The host was deleted from the config for a month before adding it back. I am a newb to the BackupPC internals so excuse my terminology. Is it possible the grim reaper axed metadata or files that were only referenced by this host?
