Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

Alex, You didn't answer my question. It should be ok to use BackupPC_backupDelete as Michael suggested, even without taking a new full backup. I recommend using the -r option, which will re-run BackupPC_refCountUpdate: su backuppcUser BackupPC_backupDelete -h HOST -n 134 -r It will merge

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

sorry? what do you mean? let me try full backup first and then wait for night maintenance. but i'm sure that pool size will be same as that not needed files was backed up and now will be in pool for history. for me it's not big problem as i have free size in pool and can wait 8 weeks (our backup

Can we stick to the backups with #133, #134, #135? Cheers! mph On 2017-05-21 21:19, Alexey Safonov wrote: > here is one real example > > 321 incr num of files = 131074 > 322 incr num of files = 774220 (because of error ib backupfilesonly) > 324 incr num of files 130946 (after applying

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

here is one real example 321 incr num of files = 131074 322 incr num of files = 774220 (because of error ib backupfilesonly) 324 incr num of files 130946 (after applying hotfix) and i can see graph on main page that show usage of pool ~3 times higher than regular. so now i'm looking how to

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

Yes v4 is more complex. Each new backup is filled (copied forward) which is kinda like a full backup - but a moving full backup, as BackupPC calculates the diff from the prior backups. If 135 is leaner (smaller) than 134 then BackupPC has already figured out what is going on. By creating a

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

Is 134 large because it included additional directories or files that are not in 133 or 135? Is backup 133 filled? Craig On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 8:49 PM, Alexey Safonov wrote: > but if i do full backup for example 135 it will copy existing 134 and then > do diff

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

but if i do full backup for example 135 it will copy existing 134 and then do diff into 134 that's new in V4 so there are no way to delete data that was backup by mistake and preserver history. V4 is good one but more complex according to V3. and now i have 500GB used on /mnt/backup (and regular

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

Ah, ok. I would run a Full backup (now considered "Filled"). That's the safest move prior to removing 134. The most recent backup is always Filled, but were talking about important data so I don't see a problem with doing on more Full (Filled) backup to ensure safety. Craig - anything wrong

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

Thanks for quick reply. but as i understan in V4 full backup in last folder. My question is related to bug in 4.1.2 (that is now fixed). But because of that bug i have regular backup 133 , abnormal backup 134 (it's huge in size) and again normal backup 135 i need to really cleanup my NFS storage.

Re: [BackupPC-users] delete backup

I would strongly suggest the use of BackupPC_backupDelete -n 134 to properly remove the backup. It should be fine to remove. You'll lose whatever changes occurred between 133 and 134. Cheers, mph On 2017-05-21 19:36, Alexey Safonov wrote: > Hi, All > > I'm usinv V4 backuppc. is it safe

[BackupPC-users] delete backup

Hi, All I'm usinv V4 backuppc. is it safe to delete one intermediate backup? for example we have in /pc/litspc123 dirs 133 135 and 135 is it safe to delete backup 134 directly from nfs? Alex -- Check out the vibrant
