Your question raises a good point. Unfortunately the backup expiry code doesn't do quite the right thing when $Conf{FullPeriod} is negative and you are using a list of values for $Conf{FullKeepCnt}. It looks like it will behave correctly if you also set $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} to a value bigger than the sum of the entries in $Conf{FullKeepCnt}. But I haven't tested this case. In hindsight I shouldn't have overloaded $Conf{FullPeriod} with negative settings for disabling backups. I should probably add a new config parameter for disabling backups.
