Can I delete previous backups, without affecting following backups, Since TimeShift (RSync) make increamental backups.
i’m picasso.
Did you know that you can edit the title of your post? You should think about it!
I don’t have any idea man, It seems that you are indicating that I put something bad as title. But I thought it’s not a wrong title as I’m in fact asking about deleting timeshift snapshots. Seriously have no idea.
Also I know English but I’m not used to speak (type) English.
Edit: Just now understood. Thank You.
Reread your title dipshift
My bad bro just noticed. It would have been helpful if just pointed that out instead of name calling. I noticed the pun bro.
But then it wouldn’t be funny on the interwebs
You should be able to highlight the ones that you want to remove then click on the delete button.
From what I understand is that each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.
each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.
So what if I Deleted the very first backup itself (which is manual backup), does the following backups become obsolute since the follwing backups created links from the original backup ?
Timeshift is smart enough, they deal with that.
Thnaks man.
To be honest I haven’t had the need or the time to delve that deeply into how Timeshift works sorry.
Thank You.
Yep. Would be pretty bad software otherwise. Best to set it up so it keeps one monthly, one weekly, and 2-3 daily snapshots. Then you don’t even need to think about it, and it deletes older ones automatically. You can still do manual snapshots, and it won’t delete those.
Thank You for the suggestion.
