I think 17851 days ago would be 1/1/1970. I’ve never seen this particular error with BackupPC, but it’s not that far-fetched for a non-existent last backup date to default to that.

Your PC has been correctly backed up 1 times from 0.3 to 17851.4 days ago. PC backups should occur automatically when your PC is connected to the network. If your PC has been connected for more than a few hours to the network during the last 17851.4 days you should contact IS to find out why backups are not working. Otherwise, if you are out of the office, there's not much you can do, other than manually copying especially critical files to other media. You should be aware that any files you have created or changed in the last 17851.4 days (including all new email and attachments) cannot be restored if your PC disk crashes. “ This was for a brand new computer that was setup on Friday. Has anyone else had wildly high numbers for “not backed up successfully” emails previously?
