That to my understanding is not right...
This is correct. Your configuration asks for at least one full
and at least 6 incrementals. It looks like this machine isn't
regularly on the network. The oldest incremental is quite old
(10/30) and the 10/24 full has to be kept for this incremental.
That full won't be deleted until another incremental occurs
(allowing the 10/30 incremental to be deleted).
In fact, the next time this machine is backed up, another full will
be done, not an incremental, since the oldest full is more than 7
days old. At this point, if you want fewer fulls you should either
reduce the number of old incrementals (see: $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin}
and $Conf{IncrAgeMax}), or reduce the total number of incrementals
(see $Conf{IncrKeepCnt}).
The basic point is that the number of incrementals (and their timing)
affects the number of fulls that needs to be kept. However, the
additional storage for each full is more modest than you might
expect beacuse of pooling.

is there a parameter or a method to carry on the backup nevertheless a

No. If you ask for a share to be backed up, it is considered
a fatal error if you can't connect to that share.
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} only determines what happens with
an otherwise successful backup that has no files. That defaults
to on, since it usually means there is some underlying problem
(permissions, failed mount etc).

[BackupPC-users] Upgrade to 3.0.0beta2
Since I finally got 2.1.2pl2 working, I decided to upgrade to 3.0.0beta2 (a glutton for punishment, I am). Everything went swimmingly until I tried to look at any logs or view the config files either for clients or the general system, via the CGI interface. Here's what I get from the web server when looking at the LOG file: Global symbol $LogDir requires explicit package name at /home/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/View.pm line 99. Compilation failed in require at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 107. Here's what I get when trying to view a client's config file: Undefined subroutine BackupPC::CGI::View::action called at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 109. I traced through the logic and it looks like it should work, at least requiring the View.pm package. I checked the path and dates of all the files, and they were definitely installed a few hours ago.

[BackupPC-users] Using mod_auth_pam
Hi,
I've successfully configured mod_auth_pam, and can now log on using
domain user name and password. I have also put user names in the host

$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} to domain\user, the admin interface does not come up.
What other format can I try?
