There aren't that many log files for backuppc.  The main one should show when 
backups start, and the xferlog for each backup run should show if they worked 
or not.  If they aren't scheduled or are disabled, the log won't mention it at 
all, though.

Are you sure that the archive is being stored in the partition that shows space 
available?  If it is in some other partition that is 95% full you would see the 
symptoms you describe.
