Re: [rdiff-backup-users] remove a single backup from increments

[Dominic Raferd]

Marcus, because rdiff-backup works with reverse diffs you can normally only delete the oldest increments. rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 5B... should remove the 5th most-recent increment i.e. the oldest of yours below. You could try: rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1B but I think this will remove all your past increments and leave you only with the most recent data. For more info about the '--remove-older-than' option do man rdiff-backup (or google 'man rdiff-backup'). But there is way to remove only the most recent increment(s) - see my script: http://www.timedicer.co.uk/programs/help/rdiff-backup-regress.sh.php Dominic On 08/03/2014 08:55, Marcus Schopen wrote: Hi, how do I remove a single backup run from increments, eg. the one at "Sat Mar 8 07:02:51 2014": # rdiff-backup -l .
