Not that I'm aware of, but I will say that I was restoring 2 subdirectories at the same time into my home, and perhaps the restores collided with the result that neither restore were able to set the ownership correctly when they were done.

I'll have to test that out.

Thanks for the reply.

While an rsync transfer is in progress, parent directories are owned by root, and changed when all subdirectories are completed.
Could there have been an interruption?

    It's been a while since I had to restore a file which has always
    gone as
    expected.

    Today I restored 2 directories along with all the files to my home
    using
    the same method that I've always used, i.e. logged into the web
    interface as root and selecting the appropriate files and the
    world was
    good.

    However this time my home directory and the top directory of the 2
    directories that I was restoring, ended up being owned by root. 
    All the
    files in the directories retained the proper ownership, just the
    directories themselves were owned by root.

    I guess I've missed something in the config file that would ensure
    that
    the ownership fo the top directories would be correct.

    I'm running BackupPC v4.3 on Centos 7.6
