Bug Description
I want to remove some but not all old backups, both full and incremental. Is there currently a safe way to do this? Can they be deleted within Time Drive or should the files simply be deleted from the target directory or should Duplicity be used for the deletions. This is not something I want to try and then see what happens. :-(

Hi Stan,
We are in the process of working on this. If you have more than one
full backup, you should be able to remove it in addition to all of the
associated incrementals. Future versions (0.4 and onward, which
hopefully will be released next month) will allow you to remove
incremental backups. It will also allow us to enable the autoremove
functions.
Cheers
Rob
