Re: [BackupPC-users] Determine heavy-weight clients
While there may be a better way, my first thought would be to check the backup summary page for each host and look at backup durations (longer time should correlate with more data transferred) and/or the "new files" columns in the "File Size/Count Reuse Summary" section.

[BackupPC-users] Removing a file from all backups
Hey there, If I need to remove a file from all backups on a host using the v4 format, is it better to step through all the backups from new to old, or the other way? I am thinking that since the backups are all incremental, if I were to touch an old one, all new ones would need to be rewritten right? So it's better to start with the new ones, and basically work down the stack (last-in-first-out), right? Thanks for any hints, -- @martinkrafft | https://matrix.to/#/#madduck:madduck.net the reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people. spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
