Hello!

I'm trying out BackupPC to decide whether or not I'm going to use it on my production servers/desktops.
Only one problem occurs for me that i can't figure out, and that is that the backup server running BackupPC won't delete my (old)full backup. Ie. there is more than one full backup(even tho my configuration specifically tells it to only keep only one).

My backup machine:
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
BackupPC-3.3.1-5
I use rsync+ssh for backup to another CentOS 7 machine.

The config for the hosts in separate file:
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 4;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax}     = 30;

$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax}     = 90;

Logs shows no error messages whatsoever when backup/restore is done. It works fine in that regard.

Output looks as follows:
Backup#    Type    Filled    Level    Start Date    Duration/mins    Age/days    Server Backup Path
0    full    yes    0    2/20 10:00    12.6    7.0    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/0
1    incr    no    1    2/21 10:11    8.8    6.0    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/1
2    incr    no    1    2/22 10:00    10.9    5.0    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/2
3    incr    no    1    2/23 14:00    7.3    3.9    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/3
4    incr    no    1    2/24 14:00    9.9    2.9    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/4
5    full    yes    0    2/27 10:00    13.6    0.0    /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/centos.local/5

So why is full backup #0 not deleted?
Have I missed something or is there something else going on here?

Regards,
