there is no explicit limit (as in "max. 15 levels"), but the operating system
storing the pool will have a limit on the maximum path length. BackupPC file
name mangling always makes a path longer (by adding an "f" every level and
prepending $topDir/pc/$host/$num/), so you might run into a problem if you
have *extremely* long paths (on my system, limits.h shows PATH_MAX to be 4096)
or maximally size path components (NAME_MAX = 255). Highly unlikely, if you ask
me.

You are probably looking at an incremental backup for which no files in this
directory needed to be backed up. Look at the web interface instead. It will
fill in unchanged files from the previous backup for you.
