but if i do full backup for example 135 it will copy existing 134 and then do diff into 134

that's new in V4

so there are no way to delete data that was backup by mistake and preserver history.

V4 is good one but more complex according to V3.

and now i have 500GB used on /mnt/backup (and regular was about 100-1500GB :)

Ah, ok.  I would run a Full backup (now considered "Filled").  That's the safest move prior to removing 134.  The most recent backup is always Filled, but were talking about important data so I don't see a problem with doing on more Full (Filled) backup to ensure safety.

Craig - anything wrong with my logic here?

Thanks for quick reply.

 

but as i understan in V4 full backup in last folder. My question is related to bug in 4.1.2 (that is now fixed). But because of that bug i have regular backup 133 , abnormal backup 134 (it's huge in size) and again normal backup 135

i need to really cleanup my NFS storage. So if i delete 134 it will not help? is it correct?

I would strongly suggest the use of BackupPC_backupDelete -n 134 to properly remove the backup.  It should be fine to remove.  You'll lose whatever changes occurred between 133 and 134.

Hi, All

 

I'm usinv V4 backuppc. is it safe to delete one intermediate backup? for example we have in /pc/litspc123 dirs 133 135 and 135

 

is it safe to delete backup 134 directly from nfs?
