When backups number N is initiated, it is initially labeled as 'active'. If interrupted, it is labeled as 'partial'. Then when a backup is tried again, it is numbered 'N+1' and again labeled as 'active'. This proceeds ad-infinitum until a successful backup is completed.
The result can be large and seemingly needless holes in the backup numbering -- even in the course of a single day. This happens frequently with laptops that may not always be connected to the network. Is there any compelling reason for this behavior? This could easily be fixed either at the end of an aborted backup or at the beginning of the next backup attempt by simply decrementing the last entry in the 'backup' file and by renumbering the partial directory and the associated log file.
