Space won't be released as long as the backups are still referenced here, and BackupPC do not delete this dir when removing the host from the host file ++ -- [ https://www.firewall-services.com/ ] Daniel Berteaud FIREWALL-SERVICES SAS, La sécurité des réseaux Société de Services en Logiciels Libres Tél : +33.5 56 64 15 32 Matrix: @dani:fws.fr [ https://www.firewall-services.com/ | https://www.firewall-services.com ] ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Thank you Raf I usually follow this sequence: - remove host from hosts file That's it.

[BackupPC-users] V4 - eventual effects of wrong sequence when removing Host
Hi all Is the following Host remove sequence correct? - remove Host backups (one by one) with BackupPC_backupDelete - run BackupPC_nightly 0 255 - remove host from hosts file - reload server configuration - remove pc/ folder manually What would happen if a wrong sequence is followed? For example: - remove host from hosts file - reload server configuration - remove pc/ folder manually - run BackupPC_nightly 0 255 Would this leave orphan files in the pool?
