I don't know either. It's a shame that we can't reproduce it. Please keep 
an eye on your backups and run a compare command regularly, and let me 
know if it appears to stop backing up for any reason.

Do you have logs from the early runs which should have backed things up 
but didn't?

You don't get emails for backup-start and backup-finish by default, only 
for errors.

If you run the command shown in those log lines (for a failure), do you 
get an email as expected? If not, what output do you get and what's in 
your mail server logs?

Cheers, Chris.
