I wasn't paying attention and my target device filled up!
I attempted to run a `--removed-older-than` on the backup in question,
however, I am getting a fatal error:
Fatal Error: Could not open rdiff-backup directory
/mnt/backup/daily/home/rdiff-backup-data
due to
[Errno 28] No space left on device:
'/mnt/backup/daily/home/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0'
I have tried add the options `--tempdir /tmp --remote-tempdir /tmp`
hoping this might solve the problem but no dice.
I checked the docs but don't see any advice on manually deleting
backups to free up enough space to actually run the
`--remove-older-than option`.
So - my question is: can I safely remove files myself ? If so, any
recommendations on how to proceed?
Thanks,
Damon
