Hello,
I would like to have more informations about the deleting of backups.
I want to delete completly a full backup in order to do several tests
about time of backuping by the level of compression for backups.
So the aim of my tests is to do a full backup for one directory (with
differents files inside), several times to compare the time of backups
taking account the level of compression.
I had several answers (and thank you for your help) and if I delete, the
host via the webinterface and the tree of files and the file of
configuration of the client (per-pc) on the server
and I configure again the host (completly), it doesn't work as I want. The
files aren't saved the second time. It is associated ("fusion" in french)
with the old file even if it was deleted.
I read that BackupPC_nightly must run to delete all links (if I understood
correctly).
There is another means to delete the links because I don't want to wait
the next day to do the next backup.
Is it clear ? ;)
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Romain

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.
