We keep 6 Months of Full Backup's and we believe we had seen when doing a restore that it went back beyond the current monthly full to restore the file.  As I understand it, you should never need to go back to restore a file beyond the current monthly full (assuming you are not trying to restore an older version of the file) as a "full" should contain everything duplicity should need to restore any file.

Am I correct on this behaviour? if so what's the best test case for this that I can do.
