I've made a *bunch* of changes to BackupPC_delete from
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=How_to_delete_backups
, including integration of the given patch. If someone could post
this version, that would be swell.
I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR. Hopefully the original author doesn't
mind.
Changes:
1. -b mode doesn't delete a full and all dependents; it deletes the
full IFF all dependents are gone. From the comments:
As an example: If the first backup is a full on the 5th, and an
incremental for every day from then on, and it's the 30th, and the
user says to delete everything older than the 6th, deleting the
full *and all the incrementals* up to today (i.e. all the
backups!!) is probably not what they had in mind.
(this is what motivated my modifications: I lost a bunch of data
that way)
2. Now has -n: the dry run flag
