Ok, that explains why you weren't getting new fulls.
You can also set:
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} = 0;
if you want to ignore empty backups, but that often indicates
a problem that you should investigate rather than quietly
ignore.
Sounds like the nightly email delivery isn't working on your
server - you should have received emails about this.
Right, the alias was not properly configured on the system :/
Thanks for the help, it should work better now.

What you say is that replacing current full backup would make existing
incremental useless, so contradict requirement for also keeping
incrementals, right ? Documentation isn't very clear there, so maybe
Craig could enlighten us.
Anyway, I've increased FullKeepCnt to 2, but also changed other few
settings, so it may be part of the problem.

[BackupPC-users] Problems with backup scheduling
Hello.
I expected an unexplained files wipeout yesterday on my server at around
0:40. When searching my available backups, I had the unhappy surprise of
discovering my backup policy was absolutly not working: I just had a
full backup from 4 month ago, and an incremental backup from yesterday.
As this last one was currently updated since 00, I immediatly stopped
the update so as to keep it unchanged, but it was removed anyway by a
partial update, full of empty files :/
What I don't understand here is why I don't have one full backup from
one week maximum, and up to six additional daily incremental backups, as
configured with default values:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 30;
There is no available space problem:
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv0 35189500 21006244 13110760 62% /var/lib/backuppc
All I found in error logs were some troubles running a mysql dump script
on the client due to lack of permissions, but it shouldn't interfere
with other files backup.

Complete log (from the problematic time) included at the end of the
mail. It seems backuppc tries to create a full backup, but a minor
failure (empty /var/lib/cvs directory) prevent it to be created.
> Do you have any additional settings in the per-PC config file?
Nothing.
However, I removed /var/lib/cvs from backups list, and increased
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} to 2, thing seems to works better now.

These settings should be fine. What is in the per-PC log files?
It should show each backup and expiry.
Do you have any additional settings in the per-PC config file?

I think that your setup is a bit strange. You are requesting to keep only 1
full backup around, but then also incrementals. I'd think that for
incrementals to work you'd need 2 fulls, at least as long as incrementals
made before the latest full are around. I'd think BackupPC would override
your settings and keep the two full while needed, but then why doesn't it?
