I changed both IncrKeepCnt and IncrKeepCntMin to 0 in the main config *and* in the host-specific one, but nothing got deleted. The disk is still 100% full. In any case: I would like to set-up BackupPC so that I do a weekly full backup, daily incremental ones and I want to delete all old incremental ones as soon as I have a good full. How can I do this? Side issue: Can I manually delete the old backups? How?
