Actually what led me to this problem/need/question when occured when I first
rolled this out to our production system. I had forgot to set the
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} and $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} counts same on both servers. hence
the offsite one started erasing backups in its data dir.
I am actually doing a test lab right now. where I modified
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
and am commenting out the parts out of the "Main Loop" section related to
Backuppc_nightly and CmdQue and UserQue
as well in the /usr/local/BackupPC/bin folder
I moved/renamed Backuppc_nightly and Backuppc_trashClean
I will know soon enough if this worked or not. as I have left my 2 test lab
machine with different Conf{FullKeepCnt} and $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} counts
