Two notes:

1. Don't do this at a time such that the regular BackupPC_nightly might 
overlap it.

2. If you wait for BackupPC_nightly to run on its own, it will clean up the 
files in (BackupPCNightlyPeriod) runs.

So if you aren't in a hurry to reclaim disk space, just delete the entries in 
pc/hostname, and wait.

Tyler
