Hi, as it happens sometimes BackupPC backs up files not wanted to be stored (usually due to misconfiguration ;)) I looked for an easy way to remove files from BackupPC pool. So I found an old email in this list pointing to http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=BackupPC_DeleteFile
Seems to work fine so far. I was able to remove the most space waisting "*.vmdk" files :) Unfortunately I'm unsure how this script recons files. So I invoked it with ./backuppc_delete.pl -r -t -c -s - -m -h ns -n - "*/*.iso" Files/directories deleted: 0(0) Files/directories copied: 0 Delete attrib set: 0 Attributes cleared: 0 Empty attrib files deleted: 0 Errors: 0 And it does not display any *.iso files. But browsing through the web frontend I see couple of them in the backups: /ftp/pub/linux/ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso So what syntax do I have to use to find all iso files?
