Subject: [BackupPC-users] Deleting certain files not working 


Hello all i am having some problems deleting files from my backups using the instructions found here 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=BackupPC_DeleteFile 

I have gotten the script installed and working for some dirctories like this one 

backuppc@venus:~$ /var/lib/backuppc/BackupPC_deleteFile.pl -h t420s-1.solar.lan -r -n - -d 4 /f%2fcygdrive%2fc/fIntel

However i have not had any luck with some other dirctories like below not sure what i am doing wrong please help. 

1. This one has hard links not sure what do do here maybe the -H option as i do not thing i need the metadatstore either 

$/var/lib/backuppc/BackupPC_deleteFile.pl -h t420s-1.solar.lan -r -n - -d 4 /f%2fcygdrive%2fc/fProgramData

2. This one will not detect or be removed, the $RECYCLE.BIN folder which i know exists by listing it here 

ls -l /var/lib/backuppc/pc/t420s-1.solar.lan/16/f%2fcygdrive%2fc/ 
total 460 
-rw-r--r-- 2 backuppc backuppc 281 Apr 19 16:12 attrib

...snip... 

backuppc@venus:~$ /var/lib/backuppc/BackupPC_deleteFile.pl -h t420s-1.solar.lan -r -n - -d 4 /f%2fcygdrive%2fc/f$RECYLCE.BIN

4. Lastly not sure how to get the right syntax if the folder contains brackets 

backuppc@venus:~$ /var/lib/backuppc/BackupPC_deleteFile.pl -h t420s-1.solar.lan -r -n - -d 4 /f%2fcygdrive%2fc/f$Program Files (x86)
