Hi,

I've run in to a bit of a strange issue. We have a large number of
backups running on backuppc and up until recently they have all been
working fine. Now I see everything as Idle with aging "last backups"

Now, when I attempt to kick backups off manually I get the usual:

  "Reply from server was: ok: requested backup of hostname" message

No errors appear in the log other than:

  2009-06-09 15:54:17 User backuppc requested backup of hostname (hostname)



Going through some debugging steps, I ran this:-

backuppc@backupbox:/usr/share/backuppc/bin$ ./BackupPC_dump -v -f hostname
Exiting because backups are disabled with $Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2
nothing to do


This is however incorrect, as the config file clearly says:-

$Conf{BackupsDisable} = '0';


Any pointers on further steps for diagnosing this problem?

Regards,
- Steve
