This one is easy --- I fixed this on my installation just the other day.

Change this conf file setting:
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} = 1;

to

$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} = 0;

I'm running backuppc, but I'm experiencing a couple of problems. When I  run a full backup for a remote server, the backup fails for one of the  directories. I can not see any reason for this to happen, and the error  message doesn't describe the error very well. Can anyone give me a hint?
