They were in the same email, below the config.

This is a typical client log file.. (This would be calib)

llupbt2:/export/facility/BackupPC/pc/calib # cat LOG.012010 
2010-01-21 02:00:18 full backup started for directory /
2010-01-21 02:20:37 full backup 0 complete, 39312 files, 1082940297 bytes, 20 
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 20 other)


It's very strange, the per host log file looks like a new host, the backup file 
just lists the one '0' backup.

Also, running perl on the various config files returns no errors..

llupbt2:/export/facility/BackupPC/pc/calib # perl /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
llupbt2:/export/facility/BackupPC/pc/calib # perl /etc/BackupPC/pc/calib.pl 
llupbt2:/export/facility/BackupPC/pc/calib # 


Thanks very much for your time.
