How?
Personally, I've just done something like this: cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname rm -rf 45 That will delete the backup, then you need to run the /usr/share/backuppc/bin/Backuppc_nightly 0 255 to actually remove the files from the pool Regards, Adam - -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIPmK1GyoxogrTyiURAvPWAKCm+EfNFtCMstxhWy5EM4HCQ+FzJQCg0efV wz1/dIa8EpYTOShrf8MkrE8= =koIs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
