as always when that is suggested: WRONG. NEVER call BackupPC_nightly directly.

possibly trash your pool. And no, you are very unlikely to notice.

For an extremely meaningless definition of 'cruft'. BackupPC_nightly is
automatically run by BackupPC when it is safe to do so every night (in
particular, BackupPC won't interfere while it *knows* BackupPC_nightly is
running, which it doesn't if you run it by hand), so this sort of 'cruft'
is regularly removed anyway without any manual action.
