Can I just remove older backups by hand then with out mucking it up. I
was concerned because it keeps a record of the older backups in the
backups file. I would like to
rm -rf 102 XferLOG.102.z
cheers,
ski

At the beginning of the summer I modified the config.pl to keep files
for 180 days as we were doing a major client upgrade and needed to keep
files from before the upgrade. This ended up keeping several fulls and
incrementals (good). I have now returned config.pl to only keep a weeks
worth of data and have run BackupPC_nightly several times to try and
clean out the older files with no luck. As these servers are now at 96%
and 97% full, I am getting no current backups. When I look in the gui,
I still see several of the older ones laying around. Any ideas on how
to fix this so, BackupPC_nightly will delete the older files is
appreciated.
BackupPC_nightly just removes the pool copies that have no remaining
links, which won't be the case until the pc/machine/backup# contents
are removed. I suspect that failing because of no disk space also
prevents the maintenance that would remove those directories. If you
remove some of the old ones by hand, then backupPC_nightly will free
the space.
