Locations not found on disk (e.g. unmounted filesystems) cannot be protected (Trac #54)

Torsten reports:

I tested this DeleteRedundantLocationsAfter and i think it does not exactly what i want.

I have set DeleteRedundantLocationsAfter = 99999999

Locations not found on the local disk are never deleted, no matter if they are activated in bbackupd.conf or not.

I want this:

• Locations activated in bbackupd.conf and not found on local disk -> never delete from backup store.

• Locations not activated in bbackupd.conf and not found on local disk -> delete on backup store after some time (for example the known value of 48 hours).

Can you help me with this? Perhaps i forgot to activate some value in the config?
