[rdiff-backup-users] Script to delete unwanted files from your repository

[Mr. Clif]

Greetings,

Like many folks I was happily using rdiff-backup and at some point down 
the road I started to run out of space in my backup repository. What to 
do? I read the FAQ, and found some other notes on Serverfault. 
Eventually I wrote a little script to follow those instructions, which 
could only be done by hand for the most simplest of cases.

Well it does seem to work, and has saved me countless tens of Gigabytes 
in backup space. Hope others may find it useful. Here is a little page 
documenting it:

    Ciao,
