Yes, it won't free up any space because there are also links under the pc directories and space isn't released until the last link is removed (and no processes have the file open). And, the next time you back up the matching content it won't find the match and will thus use more space for a new copy. The backuppc_nightly job clears these files after the link count goes to one - which happens when all of the backup runs with links have expired. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
