I also have an issue with recover in that it deletes files when the incremental is restored. I can almost understand why. It seems that if the files aren't included in the incremental (and they won't be if they haven't changed) the tar command seems to assume that the files have been removed and deletes them to have the directory appear to be in the "same state" as it thinks it was. Anyone else run into this? Is there some subtle configuration I'm missing?

Not that I'm aware of, but this is why I always amrecover into a temporary space, and then move over the files I really wanted to recover. Similarly for smb restores.
