You can restrict it to a particular vault. > I know how to edit dirvish/default.conf, but I would like to make a script > to edit the Expire: lines in all the sessions in a given vault so that > present and future backups will expire a day or two earlier. > > Image-now: 2007-05-10 02:57:47 > Expire: +21 days == 2007-05-31 02:57:47 > > Does dirvish-expire look at the right-most fields on the Expire line, or It looks at the Expire line.

Don't know :( Personally, I just use rm when I occasionally need to remove a backup image.
