[BackupPC-users] Full backups disappear

I have recently moved to BackupPC version 4, and strange things now happen to my full backups.

I have set
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '60';
which I believe would indicate a full backup every 60 days. However, instead I get a full backup every other day.

The "Backup Summary" on the admin page looks like this:

Backup#	Type	Filled	Level	Start Date	Duration/mins	Age/days	Server Backup Path
15	incr	no	1	3/20 20:06	14.0	12.7	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/15`
17	incr	no	1	3/22 20:05	15.3	10.7	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/17`
19	incr	no	1	3/24 20:04	12.6	8.7	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/19`
21	incr	no	1	3/27 20:05	13.3	5.8	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/21`
22	partial	no	0	3/28 20:00	0.0	4.8	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/22`
25	incr	no	1	4/1 10:01	12.9	1.2	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/25`
26	full	yes	0	4/2 13:00	62.6	0.1	`/var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/26`

Except for a problem around backup 22/23 you see this pattern: Backups 15, 17, 19, 21, 25 (all odd numbers) are incremental; backups 16, 18, 20, 24 (all even numbers) are missing.

Backup 26 (an even number) is full. Tomorrow, the list will show backup 27 being incremental and backup 26 will have disappeared. The day after tomorrow a new full backup 28 will appear.

Is this the intended behaviour?
