Updating the list.
With the help of Daniel and Chris we figured out the problem. With
mod_perl enabled you need to restart apache after upgrading BackupPC,
otherwide apache will still be running parts of the old BackupPC code.

Nice try, but the config settings are order-independent. The values get

Jon, most likely the per-client config isn't getting read.

When this error happens at the top-level share it is considered
a fatal error, so it doesn't increment the Xfer error count.

If you look at the source for Archive::Zip, the zip file format

So zip (or Archive::Zip) imposes a 4GB file size limit.
