Excellent, it's just nice to see an answer, I've been unfortunate in
getting very little replies from mailing lists :)
We did use the previous version's config files when we upgraded, and we've
had to make some changes to the old configs to work in version 4... So I
guess it's worth changing to a new config completely as something else may
be causing the backups to hang around forever... and not the config
settings in my original post only,
Thanks for the reply!
