It's a folder called "nagios" in my inbox, but I have some others. I was just wondering if I could axe the backup by adding _spam to the end of any folders, as I have a few others (mailing lists, etc) that don't need backed up either.

To me, "recompile the plugins" meant "re-run make and make install", not install the new version. We were both saying the same thing. I wonder if this fact needs a FAQ because the fix was non-obvious to me. I spent far too much time running straces and the like.
