If you upgrade to 3.0.0 (by telling configure.pl the path to the current 2.x config.pl file) then all the config files will be used in place. The new location (below /etc/BackupPC) is only used on a new install. > Second, which relates somewhat to the item above, is that the default > full backup count is 1 (one).
