Holger was nice enough to write about this recently.
Basically, just delete the tree of files you want to remove, using rm -rf.
If you like, you can wait overnight for the BackupPC_nightly job to clean up
the hardlinks in the pool, or if you're impatient you can do what Holger
suggests:
>>>
BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link must *not* run concurrently. Thus, you
should *not* run BackupPC_nightly outside the daemon. If you must, then run
it via the daemon, which will postpone it until no more BackupPC_link
processes are running, and likewise postpone further links until nightly has
finished:
BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run
BackupPC_serverMesg log Thank you, daemon. I appreciate your effort.
>>>
I suspect this will operate according to the $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}
setting in config.pl; so you should set "$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;"
if you don't want to run it twice.
