After using $Conf{FullKeepCnt}=4 for a couple of days, I believe the
problem has been solved.
Thank you.

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90;
I'll try increasing $Conf{FullKeepCnt} to see if that helps.

How many full backups are you keeping (ie, what are
$Conf{FullKeepCnt}, $Conf{FullAgeMax} and $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} set to)?
With 4.x, it is no longer necessary to keep extra full backups around
for the incrementals (since filled/non-filled and incremental/full
are decoupled), so it's possible those settings were too small.

I have recently moved to BackupPC version 4, and strange things
now happen to my full backups.
I have set
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '60';
which I believe would indicate a full backup every 60 days.
However, instead I get a full backup every other day.
The "Backup Summary" on the admin page looks like this:
Backup# Type Filled Level Start Date Duration/mins Age/days

Except for a problem around backup 22/23 you see this pattern:
Backups 15, 17, 19, 21, 25 (all odd numbers) are incremental;
backups 16, 18, 20, 24 (all even numbers) are missing.
Backup 26 (an even number) is full. Tomorrow, the list will show
backup 27 being incremental and backup 26 will have disappeared.
The day after tomorrow a new full backup 28 will appear.
Is this the intended behaviour?
