A colleague suggests this is because backuppc only schedules a host once a day (or maybe once per IncrPeriod), because otherwise you might have a situation where an incremental backup runs and is immediately followed by a full backup. Therefore, the logic could be that backuppc wakes up and only acts on the hosts that have IncrAge expired. Then it looks at FullAge and runs a full backup only if FullAge is expired. After hearing this, looking back into the docs was more obvious: https://backup.madduck.net/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item__conf_fullperiod_ Minimum period in days between full backups. A full dump will only be done if at least this much time has elapsed since the last full dump, and at least $Conf{IncrPeriod} days has elapsed since the last successful dump. So problem solved.
