Public bug reported:

for quite some time now NSSbackup is running in the background.

I usually check for a full backup once a month. I move the full backup
folder to an external HDD and collect them there, some I burn on DVD in
addition.

On every Incremental backup I get an corrupt backup.

This does happen if the backup destination has little or much free space. (With much I mean >2 gig and I think that the changes are about 50 MB)
I know that once I have a full backup (about 6 GB) on the HDD there is not enough space left for another one but usually there are about 2 GB which should be sufficient for a incremental backup I thought.

The strange thing is that the backup folder starts as a
    2010-01-05_08.00.10.089553.ubuntu.inc
and becomes a
   2010-01-05_08.00.10.089553.ubuntu.corrupt
after a while.

Full backups do work. Recovering files from a full backup does work too.

I can provide many other log files of similar nature if it helps ;-)
