An incremental backup will pull any added/altered files under /home. The problem arises when a file hasn't been edited for several weeks. I'm unable to restore the deleted/broken file because it's not in the full backups and the incrementals have already been deleted. This is a fairly significant flaw in my implementation. The machine in question uses a 5-disk RAID 5 array, with everything on one logical partition. Anyone else have any other ideas? I'm at a loss.
