I have a lot of remote backups, and my diskspace got saturated. So forget and prune commands fail because they can not even create the lock on the remote storage server.
How can I make room so that I could start doing some clean up? Can I simply manually ‘rm’ some of the oldest directories under the ‘/data’ directory in the repositories?
If I do this, how could I ‘resynch’ restic, so that subsequent snapshots, forget, prune, backup commands run fin? Should I simply run a ‘forget’ command to remove the deleted snapshots? Or is there no need to resynch at all?
Using restic 0.9.6.
