I'm seeing a strange problem on my BackupPC server. I'm using BackupPC
3.1.0, installed via apt-get on Ubuntu 9.10. I'm not sure what I did
that might have caused this--maybe manually running a bunch of
incrementals on the same machine during the same 24 hour period--but
for the host example.com I only see one incremental backup in the Web
UI: #0, from today.

In TopDir/pc/example.com I see many backups:

drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc   4096 2010-03-24 12:03 0
drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc   4096 2009-12-05 06:30 119

drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc   4096 2009-11-06 02:27 98

but that first one is alarming. It seems like
TopDir/pc/example.com/pc/backups might have been corrupted. Is there
some way to recreate this file?

My TopDir is set to /var/lib/backuppc, and that directory looks like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-03-04 09:40 cpool -> /bigdisk/cpool
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2010-03-04 09:40 log -> /bigdisk/log
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-03-04 09:40 pc -> /bigdisk/pc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2010-03-04 09:40 pool -> /bigdisk/pool
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-03-04 09:40 trash -> /bigdisk/trash

An external USB ext3 filesystem (a Drobo) is mounted at /bigdisk.
