What does it say about BackupPC or the hosts that fulls are working but not incrementals?

I made recently a debian server with backuppc being a noob in linux, but with patience i did it. So in one host I have this situation. my boss want full backupc to last no less than 2 months and preferably would I have the possibility to burn to dvd an old backup, to put in the archive/vault... anyway, i put $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 6; and {FullPeriod} = 6.97; Backup# Type Filled Start Date Duration/mins Age/days Server Backup Path 76 full yes 8/21 12:00 85.0 22.0 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/76 95 full yes 8/30 18:18 58.4 12.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/95 110 full yes 9/6 19:00 61.2 5.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/110 114 incr no 9/9 02:01 4.3 3.4 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/114 115 incr no 9/9 13:00 4.7 2.9 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/115 116 incr no 9/10 02:00 4.2 2.4 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/116 117 incr no 9/10 13:00 4.7 1.9 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/117 118 incr no 9/11 13:00 5.2 0.9 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/118 119 incr no 9/12 02:00 5.1 0.4 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/fb_nt/119 But now my boss looks at this and ask's me where did the incr from day 7 and 8 go? What is your $Conf{IncrKeepCnt}? 6, i think I will put 14 cause I do 2 incr per day... but do I have to put 14 to fill the incr per full's, or what?! I didn't know either but i searched for documents modified in that date and they appear in the web interface but I don't know what happened... that might be something like hardlinks or so.. Do you have a way to explain this? Incrementals are made based on change from the last full so you only need intermediate ones to find files that were newer than your full but subsequently changed or deleted. I think I didn't explain correctly... there is the 111 incr that was deleted right? the files of that incr were deleted also? the question is this, if a file is modified after the 110 full, is kept in 111 incr, but 111 incr is no more, so where that file go?!
