So, does the BackupPC pool keep the original backed-up files
indefinitely, or is there a period of time after which it deletes the

thus the pool files aren't needed anymore. For example, if I my
Windows machine is off line for a couple of weeks while I am
reinstalling the operating system, will BackupPC delete the files in
the interim? Thanks.
It keeps old files until the backup containing them gets expired by
newer backups.
My experience with Windows and reinstalling the OS is that many files
change during a reinstall (notably, almost all of the dot-net libraries
will change) and the rsync client will need to read them all, but
there's usually between a 70-90% match (assuming the same version of
Windows.)
