Hi,
I'm still getting emails from BackupPC, but the backups are
happening. The Email Summary does not show these outgoing emails
being sent. Why is this?
Where is BackupPC getting the data as to when the last backup
happened? I had a successful backup done on one machine last night at
9pm, but an email was sent 4 hours later claiming the machine hasn't
been backed up in 100 days.
The time on the box is correct, and the timestamps in /var/log/
BackupPC/status.pl look correct too.
Something is clearly not right.
Thank you for any suggestions on this one.
