Backup -- Incremental Mode

Hi

I have setup "Incremental" backup on nfs mounted /backup
The first run completed after a long time -- fine
Daily cpbackup runs:

Does the email come upon completion of the cpbackup run? I don't get any. During the initial trial with ftpbackup, there was a mail. But on switching over to Incremental mode (lower loads during backups), i have no mails.

Additionally how does one see where the cpbackup operation is incrementally doing the same. This is my cpbackup.conf:

BACKUPACCTS yes
BACKUPDAYS 0,1,2,3,4,5,6
BACKUPDIR /backup
BACKUPENABLE yes
BACKUPFILES yes
BACKUPFTPDIR
BACKUPFTPHOST
BACKUPFTPPASS
BACKUPFTPPASSIVE no
BACKUPFTPUSER
BACKUPINC yes
BACKUPINT daily
BACKUPLOGS yes
BACKUPMOUNT no
BACKUPRETDAILY 1
BACKUPRETMONTHLY 1
BACKUPRETWEEKLY 1
BACKUPTYPE normal
DIEIFNOTMOUNTED no
MYSQLBACKUP both
BACKUPCHECK yes
BACKUP2 yes


Any help on this would be welcome

TIA
Anup

Now i see this in emails that arrive (incremental mode backup):

pkgacctfile is: /backup/cpbackup/daily/cpusername.tar.gz

However, there are no such files (arguably so as the backup mode is incremental), so why does cpbackup get this? Is it a bug or am i misunderstanding something?

Also, if files are deleted from account, shouldnt't the backup also have that file removed? Curently, any additions are added to backup but any deletions do not get deleted from the backup. Incremental mode does offer a lower load during backups.

TIA
