Sorry for the delay in responding

I agree that I don't want to get into the business of manually purging  
files.

I don't have anything set for $Conf{BackupSchedule},
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = 7, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,  
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23; if that's what you mean.

$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = 4
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1
