To be clear, you don't really need to add '--delete' as it is one of
the *default* parameters and the comments in config.pl even warns you not to
do so.
Rather, please don't delete parameters that you don't understand or
intend :)
Just to reiterate it was my own mistakes that caused the issue
"for some ancient reason I had per client overrides of the
rsyncArgs that were the cause of my issues."
I don't know why I had these overrides in the client
configs. They must have been there since 2008 when I first
set up this complex backup environment then. I did a lot of
searches for example set ups back then to get ssh working,
disks recognized correctly etc... and I may have followed an
un-official guide that led me to the config overrides I
have. In all those years I never had a situation where I
needed to restore a whole share of data till recently.
BackupPC has run reliably in its misconfiguration for all of
that time. Now having run a series of backups with the
deletion of my overrides all is as expected for the share
content that I've now taken a closer look at.
I'm sorry that in my panic my statements appeared to blame
the program.
