Hi all, just a followup / footnote:

I reviewed this a bit more today.

- the most recent backup (generated last night) has same symptoms as
previously described
- definitely I am getting new backups generated each night
- logs look "fairly OK" to my cursory review.
- also to mention, this BackupPC host is backing up a number of
different hosts.  The 'problem' host is the only windows system being
backed up (via rsyncd); all other hosts are linux (also being backed
up via rsyncd).  When I look in the web interface and browse backups
for any of the other hosts - the 'fill behaviour' appears to be
normal:appropriate.

Certainly this 'problem host' seems to be quite consistent - it pulled
~1.8gb of data last night in 'fresh backed up files' and those - I can
see fine. It just fails to 'fill' everything that wasn't in the latest
backup.

Also to be 'proper' - I did apt-get update and upgrade to bring the
host up to date for patching. (Debian 6.0.2->6.0.5; backuppc also
increased a minor rev number but still is not the absolute latest
version from what I can tell).  This doesn't appear to have changed
behaviour/symptoms in any way.

If anyone has other thoughts on things to check // possible 'likely
causes' -- pointers are appreciated!
