If you use BackupPC for backups, it knows what to backup each time. It is
unreasonable to expect BackupPC to guess that you are also (for some
unstated reason) carrying out backups via a different mechanism which
BackupPC should somehow be aware of.

Why don't you trust BackupPC to backup your data, period? If the
Mon_backup.bak files are simply local copies, just exclude them from
BackupPC altogether, and have BackupPC backup the source instead.
