Public bug reported: I have found out that the "--restore-missing" functionality is not working as expected. I have set up déja-dup to backup some folders every day.
If I delete some files today, and then I use the "restore-missing" functionality the same day (today in my example), déja-dup shows me the list of missing files as expected. The problem is that if I use the "restore-missing" functionality from tomorrow on, no files are listed anymore. It seems that "restore-missing" seeks the missing files only if the backup is made the same day that I deleted the files. The behavior I expected is that "restore-missing" should search the entire backup series, and create a list of all missing files since the first backup was made.
