Hi there,
in KopiaUI, I cannot find a way to remove an entry* from the list.
I suspect I’ll have to resort to the command line to do so, but even there, how do we perform such an operation?
* How do we call those entries? “jobs”, “sources”, “paths” ?
Are you talking about policies? The ones with an “*” are the default repo policies…
Well, I guess I shouldn’t have included Markdown emphasis in the title…
No, I’m talking about the source path to be backed-up, shown int the main/first window of KopiaUI.
I have /Users/example/folder1 and /Users/example/folder2 with each their own scheduling policies. What if I don’t want to make snapshots of /Users/example/folder2 anymore.
How do I remove it from Kopia?
That’s my main question.
The secondary question is about Kopia’s nomenclature: how do we call those entries?
You’re correct - they are called sources. Each source has snapshots.
Sources “exist” because they have snapshots or policies, there’s no other representation of sources per se in the repository.
To remove snapshots, unfortunately there’s no great UI yet - you need to list all snapshots for the source (including incomplete and identical) and remove them manually, something like:
$ kopia snap ls ~/Projects/Kopia --incomplete --manifest-id --show-identical

$ kopia snapshot delete abee56fb521e14425da09836c020a7af 958ada140ac8878a9c522a2e1671d309 {remaining manifest IDs} ... --delete
Once you delete all snapshots, the source should disappear. You may want to stop Kopia UI to prevent it from making new snapshots while you do that.
Great, that worked.
To anyone in the same situation: The source won’t disappear right away.
For me, it kept showing up with a size of 0 B.
But it disappeared after deleting policies targeting the removed source.
