[Duplicity-talk] ways to make free space with big duplicity chains

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to safe some disk space and did the following and would like 
to know if there are better ways to flatten/merge active main chains?

find /home/snip-backup/backups/libvirt-filesystems/ -maxdepth 1 -name 
*inc*201706* -delete

duplicity cleanup --extra-clean --force --archive-dir 
/var/cache/backupninja/duplicity --name ca76476632badf50cdf688a006875374 
scp://address@hidden/backups/libvirt-guests

duplicity collection-status --archive-dir 
/var/cache/backupninja/duplicity --name b1eb1c938fd4de77fc283fb3800b4778 
scp://address@hidden/backups/libvirt-filesystems

I'm hopping that I now only lost all incremental backups after 201705 
and that my next incremental will be in august and that all the files 
will be extractable from the duplicity backup this way?

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
