This is misleading!!!!!!!
The whole idea behind "clean backupgroups" command is to be abel to run it
in parts, i.e. do some work and cancel the process. Committed transactions
will be confirmed and will stay. Only the last transaction will be rolled
back! That's why the completion state is 'cancelled' - the process is
aware of cancellation and will continue next time!
Reverting to logmode=normal is exposing server operations to an
unnnecessary risk.

Log filling issue can be resolved by using a DB backup trigger (look at "h
def dbb" command), or by running the "clean backupgroups" several days and
cancelling it before the log gets filled.

Is your log running in roll-foward-mode???

if yes turn it to normal (only Pending transactions will be loged),
that shoud do it.

when you restart the process, it has to do all work again, i think
