I have a "spurious" backup of one of my machines that shows up on the
web interface as a backup but when you click on it you get the error:
"Error: Directory /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/mymachine/0 is empty"

Looking in /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/mymachine, I see that indeed there is
no "0" directory.

Indeed, there are is all no XferLog.0.z either.

However, backup '0' is still included in the file 
/var/lib/BackupPC/pc/mymachine/backups.

Restarting backuppc did not fix this problem either.

Now, I ending up fixing the problem by manually editing the 'backups'
file to remove the '0' line but I was wondering if there is a better
way...

Thanks
