Hello.

I expected an unexplained files wipeout yesterday on my server at around 0:40. When searching my available backups, I had the unhappy surprise of discovering my backup policy was absolutly not working: I just had a full backup from 4 month ago, and an incremental backup from yesterday.

As this last one was currently updated since 00, I immediatly stopped the update so as to keep it unchanged, but it was removed anyway by a partial update, full of empty files :/

What I don't understand here is why I don't have one full backup from one week maximum, and up to six additional daily incremental backups, as configured with default values:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax}     = 90;

$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax}     = 30;

There is no available space problem:
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv0   35189500  21006244  13110760  62% /var/lib/backuppc

All I found in error logs were some troubles running a mysql dump script on the client due to lack of permissions, but it shouldn't interfere with other files backup.

I'm using backuppc 2.1.1 on debian sarge.
