I am backing up a machine that has a bunch of files that contain
only the word "END" and nothing else. There are enough of these files
that I seem to be hitting a resource limit. I am seeing:

Just use the $Conf option. Assuming /var is on a seperate partition:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/var' => [
'/tmp',
],
}
If it is on the / partition:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

Wouldn't that start notifying me after 365 days?
What
I added a host for testing direct restores and have the full period
set to -2 (don't do any backups). Every night I receive email
saying there are no backups for that host. I know that and don't
want any backups.
Is there a way to stop the emails for this host?

I have a machine that has been backup up fine until this week.
Starting this week, every time it runs it dies part way through. It
leaves behind a "new" directory, but it never gets linked to become a
partial, and it gets wiped out every day. The only information I have to
go on is this in the l

How hard would it be to implement something that balances when full
backups are done?
BackupPC is perfecly happy doing full backups of most hosts one night,
and no full backups the next night. Amanda, as an example, tries
to balance full backups so about the same amout of data is backed up
each

I figured out how to trigger the bug.

I tracked down the bug. When I changed the config file, it caused
a problem where something wasn't defined that should have been.
I uncommented the line
#printf("Deleting backup $i ($prevFull)\n");
and added some additional prints.

Deleting backup 2 (1)

I had been backing up a host for a while using only full backups
($Conf{FullPeriod} = 0.97; $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 1.97;). This was
working fine for a long time.
Yesterday I switched to using incrementals ($Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;). So last night it should have done an
