[BackupPC-users] A cleanup question for orphaned backup directories.

I've encountered an interesting issue: In $TopDir/pc/host, I have some orphaned directories that don't appear in $TopDir/pc/host/backups. For example: this host shows two extra directories, and XferLOGs for backup #5 and #6 that does not appear in the 'backups' file: $ ls isxxt004 0 17 1
