Can I put a slightly different spin on this question? Is there a way to earmark
a backup not to be overwritten? In my situation, I just brought up the backuppc
server, and now I have a good backup of everything on each box. In the future,
I would like to only back up a subset of the directories (basically everything
needed to reconstitute a Debian or Ubuntu box, /home /root /etc /usr/local
/var/log /var/backups /var/cache/apt /var/cache/debconf /var/lib /boot
/lib/modules) on a regular basis. Maybe monthly, quarterly or even
semi-annually, I would get everything else (most of which would be binaries
included in packages)...
Is it possible to designate either more than two levels of backups (instead of
full and incrementals, maybe weekly/monthly/daily or something of that sort) or
be able to set a do-not-delete flag on a specific backup (possibly with a
comment)?
Thanks,

put this in your per-pc config file (uncommented, obviously).
# use this if you want to stop backing the box up.
#$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;
#$Conf{EMailNotifyMinDays} = 365;
