I have a few user@host:/path entries I see with ‘kopia snap list -all’ that don’t have any snapshots. They may have been partial snapshots that never completed.
I do not need that user@host:/path in my repository, so how can I delete those from my repository?
Invoke kopia snapshot list --all --incomplete or kopia snapshot list -ai to see if here are any incomplete snapshots.
Remember to delete the corresponding snapshot policy to remove it from kopiaUI (kopia policy list then kopia policy delete <ID>, or click Delete snapshot source in kopiaUI)
So is the implication if there are incomplete snapshots that is why that otherwise empty user@host/path entry exists? And, if I delete those incomplete snapshots it will remove that user@host/path I no longer need in my repository?
Yes, in my opinion.
The answer is slightly different on kopiaUI. While incomplete snapshots are shown in kopiaUI, it is possible to see an empty entry because of a corresponding policy exist, which is created when using kopiaUI to create snapshot. Click Delete snapshot source will delete the policy and the empty entry.
