[BackupPC-users] timing of incrementals relative to fulls

[Julian R. <jul...@q-...>]

Hello backuppc-users,

  I noticed in my logs that for a incremental that I started today,
  that it 'started back' to 17:00 yesterday for the directory I wished
  to backup. Good so far.
  But what is odd is that the last full backup was started at 18:00
  yesterday, not 17:00

  The full backup actually finished at 03:42 this morning.

  So why is there the discrepancy of an hour? Is this a bug, or part
  of the code for a reason I don't fully understand.

 Also is there a means to make all the dates run DD/MM/YYYY  as we
 have in the UK? I notice most of dates are in the US format format of
 MM/DD instead.
