Hi all!

Is there any way I can delete a spesific file from all backups? For some reason 
I have a file backed up which is 50gigs in /var/log (/var/lib/smac.log) and I'd 
like to delete it from every backup that has been made.

If I go into a spesific backup number directly on the backup disk:
 pc/db-master/57/f%2fvar/flib/fsmac.log)

Could I just simply recursively search through all backup numbers (pc/db-
master/1-2-3 etc) and delete all fsmac.log occurances? Could there be any 
unwanted consequences if this is done? Any better way?

Thank you for any help!

Peter
