Hi all

New adventures using backuppc4.0 80)

I was using backuppcV3 to do a 3 full backup and its was working like a charm 8)

Now , reading the doc of backuppc4 it changes the view of backup.
https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#BackupPC-4.0

Using Ubuntu-22.04 + backuppc-4.4.0-5ubuntu2.

It is possible to do a 3 full backup and see only the content of them without merging ?

My conf:
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 10;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [
  3
];
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 3;
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '0.97';
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 0;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 0;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 9999;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  'media'
];

How do I test?
a)
I create at /media 3 directories 1, 2 and 3.
Full backup
And checking GUI I could see all 3 directories. Fine it is working 8)

b) remove directories 1,2  and 3 and create  directories 3,4 and 5.
full backup
and checking GUII I see directories 1,2,3 4 and 5... Not what I want.

c) remove directories 3,4 and 5. and create directories 6,7 and 8.
full backup
and checking GUI I see directories 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8....Not what I want.... I would like seeing only directories 6,7 and 8..

any help?

Best regards

Since the design is to fill with the previous backup and it appears you are doing these tests in quick succession w/o a day between so that "nightly" can run your results are as expected. Check back tomorrow and see if then the deleted directories/files have been removed from their respective backups. If you click delete backup # in the GUI it is then cued to be deleted when nightly runs at its scheduled time overnight. Since deleting a backup file requires unlinking it is not a straight forward delete.
