[reposted from backuppc-devel due to lack of response] Hello all,
I have come across this problem frequently -- backups are running great, then one day I notice that backups are bigger than they should be. I look into it, and a large file was copied somewhere that got backed up but shouldn't have. I've searched around and can't find an answer to this one, forgive me if I overlooked a solution. I can add an exclusion and wait for the file to expire from the pool, but for my configuration this takes months. 1) is there a current (safe) way to delete a file from the pool/cpool and from all backups 2) if not, what would this take? I would have to delete the entry in the pool/cpool, and the link(s) to it from the individual pc/backup#/ subdirectories, but would this be all I would need to do? I am not too worried about updating backup stats (size, compressed size, etc) but for completeness sake it would be nice to know exactly where I would need to look to update that information.
