Michael,

I say it was another user in the visible report, but it was actually
myself. I have one admin account, one personal account, and one business
account.

The backup was for the home folder, which included all three user
accounts. It was run from my admin account. My business & admin file
branches appear to have restored without problem; however, my personal
branch only restored 'Music' and 3 out of 15 folders in 'Documents'.
This means approximately 1400 files & folders were not properly
restored, including pictures, videos, and files of almost every type.

As a side note, I also had no problems recovering a separate backup
which was run from my admin account but which exclusively saved critical
business files (business UID/GID)

Let me know if you need any other information.
