I have to warn you this is very true. There is no deletion time recorded by 
boxbackup. To honest if I try to understand the source it seems that the files 
marked as deleted are not checked on any timestamp at all? Hmm I've probably 
read something wrong here. 

If I try to find any time checks it looks there are only checks on the object 
that is in the store and that means that the only time that could count is the 
time the backup is made. So the file that arrived in the backup first is the 
first one that seems to get deleted no matter the deletion time.
