umm,
Cpool nightly clean removed 190 files from where??

the mobo died on 10/14, a new server was purchased, complete with new
discs.  the orig server primary volume was also installed, but not the
original server backuppc volume.  on 10/28 i created a fresh empty
backuppc volume, tried starting backuppc but hadn't created the
backuppcdata directory, created that and restarted but hadn't given
ownership of backuppcdata to backuppc, did that and restarted, and
finally it's happily rebuilding the backup volume.

but wait, each time backuppc ran with an EMPTY backup volume, it
claims to have deleted files from Cpool!  eh?  just exactly what did
it delete really, from where?

it sounds about right that the Cpool was 73.32GB on 10/13.  but the
log's claim that Cpool is 64.84GB on 10/28 makes no sense.  the volume
is fresh and empty.  yet the next couple runs claim that Cpool nightly
clean removed a similar but slightly fewer number of files each time,
and each run claims Cpool is slightly smaller than the last.  like
there's a shadow copy of Cpool somewhere?  umm, i sincerely doubt
that...  so, what's going on here?

my guess:  i have $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 8;  which presumably
means only 1/8 of the pool is traversed each night.  i'm guessing the
numbers reported for Cpool are averaged out over the last 8 runs.
weak, if so.  i mean really, claiming it removed 190 files.

i mean, i'm still rather worried it really did remove 190 files, and
then 149 files, and then 106 more.  i mean, do i need to have my
client go get that original backup volume back from offsite storage,
spin it up, and compare everything to make sure something important
hasn't been deleted?  that would be a major annoyance...

doc/BackupPC.pod says "This documentation describes BackupPC version
3.0.0beta1", so presumably that's the version.

here's the last 4 LOGs:
