Just noticed the settings chopped off. The settings do appear default however.
As suggested, a log file would probably yield some clue, but I'm not sure which
log file to examine.

manually 4.11.16
This appears to be the default configuration.
Free disk space has been approximately 2TBfor the last year.
Last night 2 servers I recently added ran, all others that have been running for
Several years remained idle.
I can start the correct backup type for all servers and 4 backups will start,
all additional backups will start in order
Maintaining 4 backups active until they all complete.
Is there a specific log file that would have additional details?

If your system is configured to run at least an incremental every night and the
backuppc service is running, the things that might keep a system from being
backed up would be:
Not enough disk space on the archive volume at the start time.
Non-default (and incorrect) WakeupSchedule.
$Conf{MaxBackups} jobs already running during the backup window (not in a
blackout period).
BackupDisable set to 1 or 2.
I think any other reason would at least leave a log entry about starting and
failing - like the ping command failing.
