I had this problem for the last 3 months; none of my machines was
being backed-up automatically. I had to  force an incr backup each
week; Don't hate me: this is my mother & sister machines I'm backing
up, not your bank DB :)

The problem I had was that I had "only" 6gb free in my box = 1% of the
filesystem space. Only by reading the config I found that backuppc
won't run if there's less than 5% of free space:

# Maximum threshold for disk utilization on the __TOPDIR__ filesystem.
# If the output from $Conf{DfPath} reports a percentage larger than
# this number then no new regularly scheduled backups will be run.
$Conf{DfMaxUsagePct} = '95';

Some notes:
1) in ubuntu the LOG file was not enabled by default
2) maybe backuppc should show an alert in the web console if it cannot
run the backup because of the disk space?

now, I have moved the backups to another disk and things work beautiful.

Thanks!
