I recently changed my repository and forgot to ensure the hostname was consistent when connecting the repo again. I’ve now reconnected it under the correct hostname.
Unfortunately I ran a backup under the other hostname.
The net result is that I now have backups under two hosts – the primary one with all of the backup retention policies etc, and then a second with a single set of backups of identical files to the primary.
I’ve tried delete
which fails with:
Would delete snapshot <UID of wanted snapshot> of root@<hostname>:<path> at 2022-12-27 06:58:08 UTC (pass --delete to confirm)
…Which is not what I want. I then tried expire
which results in:
Nothing to delete for <username>@<host>:/app/<UID>
I’m assuming this is because the files are wanted by the snapshots I wish to keep.
How do I remove the unwanted snapshots?
