Re: [BackupPC-users] Full backups disappear
After using $Conf{FullKeepCnt}=4 for a couple of days, I believe the
problem has been solved.
Thank you.

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.

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?

[BackupPC-users] Successful backup marked as failed
Hi,
I'm using BackupPC to back up a Windows computer. The configuration file
contains this:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.0.23';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [ 'Users' ];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/Trine/SkyDrive'];
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'Trine';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'X';
After running BackupPC, the XferLOG contains:
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient 192.168.0.23\\Users -U Trine -E -d
1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - /Trine/SkyDrive
full backup started for share Users
Xfer PIDs are now 12274,12273

Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share Users)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share Users)
Saving this as a partial backup, replacing the prior one (got 61
and 0 files versus 0)
In short, all the files are backed up correctly, and I can see them in
the BackupPC web page, but as you can see, the backup is marked as
failed with this message:
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share Users)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share Users)
What could be wrong?
