I've backed up a bunch of movie files I want to remove to reduce the size of the storage, I have several computers backing up to this one storage.
I've updated my filters file to exclude the movies.
First thought was to prune the whole storage and start fresh. So:
duplicacy list Snapshot hps_pool2g revision 1 created at 2017-10-03 16:56 -hash Snapshot hps_pool2g revision 2 created at 2017-10-06 14:08duplicacy prune -r 1 Deleting snapshot hps_pool2g at revision 1 Fossil collection 1 saved The snapshot hps_pool2g at revision 1 has been removed
duplicacy prune -r 2 Fossil collection 1 found Ignore snapshot system_backup whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot zenbuntu whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot zenbuntu_home whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot av whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot hps_home whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot hps_pool2g whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot oszen whose last revision was created 7 days ago Ignore snapshot red whose last revision was created 7 days ago Fossils from collection 1 is eligible for deletion The chunk 8bc31276fd572069163aeed9e18033a2e8b8f2b07c7f0a8837156a3bd7718d7b has been permanently removed The chunk d39f300c1f6092c5def98e88b9fb36f062a31b6795ffeebbfa16de8eb7226d29 has been permanently removed The chunk 94a954a082436e279870a3900639f25a520b440fa50becc179f90a4c34bdd7df has been permanently removed The chunk e2dbad47ec35d4adba414ad48e244d3b71eaebfa749fe1d16df40c909d65756b has been permanently removed The latest snapshot hps_pool2g at revision 2 can't be deleted in non-exclusive mode
Not sure how to proceed from here. There will be chunks in common with the backup ID av, so I don't expect to regain much space until I also prune that backup.
Happy to remove everything under the ID 'hps_pool2g' and recreate that backup. Just not sure how to do it without leaving chunks, or at least metadata behind.

You'll need to specify the -exclusive switch:
duplicacy prune -r 2 -exclusive
Please make sure no other backups are running when you run this command.
