[BackupPC-users] Easiest way to delete test backups?
Hi, I'm fairly new to Linux, and brand new to BackupPC (I've dealt with Netbackup/BackupExec/Commvault in the past in mostly Windows centric environments) - I've recently installed it and started generating some test backups so I can work out any issues, and so far so good. However, these are not backup jobs that I would like to keep, I don't see an easy way to delete them through the web interface, so what's the easiest solution (without screwing anything up)? +-- |This was sent by ph...@hotmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?

If you are going to continue to back up the same content, you won't gain much by deleting the test runs since the files are all pooled. However, you can simply delete a host's entry under the 'pc' directory and delete the host from the backuppc configuration if you no longer want that target. Any pooled files not shared by remaining backups will be removed when BackupPC_Nightly runs cleaning out the pool files where the link count has gone down to 1. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
