And note that if your 'real' backups cover the same hosts as the tests,
you aren't going to reclaim much space since all copies of identical
files end up linked to a single copy in the cpool directory. It won't
waste much extra space to just leave them unless the tests covered
hosts/files that aren't included for real operations.
