All improvements which was provided in the wiki are included in this "new"
release.
In addition I've added:
- remove XferLOG.<number>[.z] together with backup <number>
- --remove will remove a host from the /etc/backuppc/hosts as well as all of
his backups
- (today) look for /etc/BackupPC as well as for /etc/backuppc
All the rest from a diff should be cosmetics or changes which implemented
not from me.
So I would believe you can change the wiki text into:
How to delete backups from the archive:
Put this script somewhere in your path. It includes usage information when
run without arguments.
It will remove incremental backups too, if a full backup should be removed
where the incrementals based on. The incrementals will also be removed if
they are filled. Here is room for improvement :-)
FreeBSD
if you want to use BackupPC on a FreeBSD system, you have to change
the 'stat' calls. Change the two occurencies of the line:
BackupTime=`stat -c "%y"
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo | awk '{print $1}'`
into
BackupTime=`stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d"
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo`
