When in doubt, use \fB\-\-dry\-run \-\-list\fP to see what would be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
2017-11-25 13:38:04 +00:00
|
|
|
When using \fB\-\-stats\fP, you will get some statistics about how much data was
|
|
|
|
|
deleted \- the "Deleted data" deduplicated size there is most interesting as
|
|
|
|
|
that is how much your repository will shrink.
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that the "All archives" stats refer to the state after deletion.

|
|
|

see \fIborg_patterns\fP).
