You can safely do the following (only your backup size statistics will get skewed): find /backuppc/pc/somepc -name '*.mp3' -o -name '*.iso' | xargs rm To actually free the space, run "BckupPC_nightly 0 255" (make sure that BackupPC is stopped while you do it to ensure that no two BackupPC_nightly's run at once at the same portion of the pool). Hope this helps, Tino. -- "What we nourish flourishes." - "Was wir nähren erblüht." www.lichtkreis-chemnitz.de www.craniosacralzentrum.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
