Hello,
Fisrt, when you say "BackupPC_serverMesg" it's $Conf{ServerMesgSecret}?
My configuration of config.pl :
$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = 4
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1
Normally, with this configuration, each night (at 01:00 am) all files and
links wich are uneeded are deleted, aren't they ?
Is it true ?
I didn't understand when you said "BackupPC_nightly 0 255". Could you
please explain that with more details?
It's not a line command in a terminal (console). How and where execute
this "command" ?
Thanks a lot.
Romain

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to delete manually a Backup with BackupPCNightly
According to others on the list previously, it's
BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run
which asks backuppc to perform a nightly run the next time it's safe to do
so (immediately if it can; asap if not). If you've configured backuppc to
only process a portion of the pool each night, you may need to send that
command multiple times. See $Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} and
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} in config.pl for an explanation.
It's not a good idea to run it directly as it shouldn't run at the same
time as backups and other periodic tasks. If you insist (ie, you KNOW
nothing else is scheduled) the unsafe command is
BackupPC_nightly 0 255
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Stephen
