Help! All my backups have vanished!

server:/mnt/md2/backuppc/pc/kiste.smurf.noris.de# ls -l back*
- -rw-r-----  1 backuppc backuppc       0 Mar 11 22:58 backups
- -rw-r-----  1 backuppc backuppc    1264 Mar 11 21:38 backups.old

Fortunately, I noticed the problem before the next run happened...
others may not be that lucky.

The problem turned out to be a full disk. Error reporting in that case
is non-helpful; I see "Child exited prematurely" and
"aborted by signal=PIPE" on my status page. The average user is going
to wonder what could possibly be wrong all of a sudden. :-/
