I don't understand what you mean here. You mean it is now taking backups but only of the past four days changes? Or you mean you have no good backups made after 4 Sept? You haven't changed any configuration and your hardware is OK, right? The problem was just power failure or whatever during/after the quake that caused interrupted backups? > How do I make it do a back up using the last good back up as the > reference point? You can use command-line options as Noel has suggested. Another way is just to delete all the failed backups.
