Hi All, I think I found it after a big of googling. My disk is full because I haven't mounted my backup drive properly :-[ I agree with someone else that posted a message in response to the same error message I saw, that a more relevant error message would be better. eg. disk full, not enough

I've reinstalled backuppc and the problem has gone away. I used the Debian packages which sets up cron jobs. After the reinstall, I'm seeing normal incremental backups at around the same time. I guess I screwed up a config file somehow, I'll post the details if I screw up again. :) B. Dav
