It would work, BackupPC_nightly would remove the files from the pool as well, but the backup size displayed by the web interface would be wrong. Jeffrey J. Kosowsky wrote a nice tool for removing files from backups called BackupPC_deleteFiles. See http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12265.html.
