Re: [BackupPC-users] How to delete backups? + Benefit of incremental backups?

A lot of thank to everybody which answered my questions which have been asked a lot of times, sorry :-(. I've learned from your answers that my model of BackupPC storage of full and incremental backups was too weak and that it's too dangerous to delete backups by hand. So we won't do that. The

[BackupPC-users] How to delete backups? + Benefit of incremental backups?

Hello, we are using BackupPC and it works perfect on different places. But we have 2 questions on it: 1. We wonder why neither the GUI nor the commands offer a possibility to delete backups (full and incremental). If e.g. the backup partition is filled up, this would be very helpful. As far

Wow Tino, your faster anwering than I'm able to question ;-) Your web view would become inconsistent (e.g. deleted files becoming visible again). Ok, this seems to be a case we forgot ;-( But if this doesn't matter to us, is it then okay to delete any backup? Do the GUI and the creation of new
