How to recover space when backup is full #24

Closed mgiammarco closed 6 years ago

mgiammarco commented 6 years ago

Hello, I have this problem: if the backup medium became almost full you cannot recover the situation. I think: I reduce the number of copies so it merges the old ones and I save space Unfortunately if the backup space is almost full the merge operation cannot complete (because it needs some free space) and so I have no ways to recover.

Hi, to reduce the number of backups use the clean command with -keep. The problem is that it has to create a new file and only at the end it is removed. It is just "rbd merge-diff" that works like that. And that's the problem?
