So: Is it safe to delete the old V3 subdirs from cpool now, if there are no V3 backups left?
My usual approach to something like this is to rename the directory or file rather than delete it. In case of accident it's much safer. In a case like this I'd probably also change the permissions, so that the backuppc user couldn't access the directories at all. That way I'd be more confident that nothing was using the data when I did a test run of BackupPC_fsck to make sure that noen of the data I'd hidden is needed. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
