I would like to understand the steps you took.
First, by "server A" and "server B" you mean clients that BackupPC backs up?
When you said "on my BackupPC I deleted "A:data"" did you mean you simply
removed that share from the config.pl for server A, or did you actually
delete files below the BackupPC store (eg,
/data/BackupPC/pc/serverA/NNN/fdata)?
If it was just a config change, then all the old backups of the data share
on server A should still be present (until they otherwise expire based on
the config settings).
