Thanks for the prompt response.

Unfortunately, the file in question is still on the machine.
If I look in the backup history from the interface, it has some rather odd
results.

is from backup set 14-20, with backup 14 being a full backup.

Every other backup shows that the file was not present in the backupset.
The backup after a file does not show up will again have the file listed in
the backup set correctly.
When I browse the backup sets with the web interface, the backups that show
the file as deleted do in fact not have it listed.  The next backup will
look fine.

The odd backups are the ones that are showing the problems.  What I found as
odd was the times were so much shorter for the backup.

This behavior is showing up on every machine that is being backed up.
Originally I ran into this problem with version 3.0.0 of BackupPC.  I
upgraded to BackupPC 3.1.0 and started with another full and then
incremental and had the same results

Thanks,
