Re: [Duplicity-talk] Remove the last inc backup

[Edgar Soldin]

what Mark said plus,

you do not necessarily do need to delete those files initially. if unsure 
simply move them from the backup target folder to another one. this way you cam 
move some back if you accidentally move wrong files.
if all is well you can always del this folder later.

also it is advisably to do a verify after you did it just to make sure your 
latest backup still works.
