Yes . First list all the backups for a host : orca pc # /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_deleteBackup.sh -l -c orca
If you're keeping n fulls and then doing m incrementals, just delete all but the last full, so from the command above it's showing : BackupNumber 1066 - full-Backup from 2012-08-19 . bunch of incrementals . . BackupNumber 1097 - full-Backup from 2012-09-19 . . bunch of incremental . . run : orca pc # /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_deleteBackup.sh -c orca -d 1066 -f That'll delete the first full (I keep 2 fulls, but let's say I'm running low on space) and all the incrementals, then it'll run Backuppc_nightly to reclaim the space.
