On one of my machine shares I did some file consolidation
that involved creating a new top level directory and moving
files from adjacent top level directories into sub
directories under the newly created directory I then deleted
those other empty top level directories.
Backuppc ran a couple days later a incremental backup, and
in this backup there was the new directory with sub
directories and files I had moved as well as the old and no
longer existing top level directories and files. I waited
till the next nightly ran and then checked again and the
deleted directories and files were still present.
So I haven't lost data but if I had a disk failure the
restore would recreate deleted data on the new destination
share. So the question is how do I delete old share data
structures in my backups or how should I approach such
changes so I don't end up with over populated restores.
