Here is the list for one random host: Backup# Type Filled Start Date Duration/mins Age/days Server Backup Path 17 full yes 10/24 20:49 53.1 35.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/17 20 incr no 10/30 20:54 9.1 29.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/20 21 full yes 11/1 21:06 44.6 27.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/21 22 incr no 11/2 21:20 8.7 26.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/22 23 incr no 11/5 21:05 10.7 23.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/23 24 incr no 11/7 21:13 9.0 21.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/24 25 full yes 11/13 21:14 77.5 15.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/25 26 incr no 11/14 21:29 7.7 14.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/26 27 incr no 11/15 21:52 9.3 13.6 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/blackbird/27 So, as you can see, there are three full and incrementals between them. That to my understanding is not right... > You mention some hosts have 3 fulls.

We do not use manual backups... It is a set it and forget it type of thing. We monitor it, but mid-week backups do not happen. So I am just wondering if there is a way to run this nightly cleanup manually? Or get any output from the backup? Thanks for your response!
