How to start over

Support
#1

Ok… so I’ve wildly reorganized things and I want to “start over” with my backups.
Can I just delete all the stuff in my B2 backup (chunks, config and snapshots)?

Will the device being backedup automatically notice everything is gone at B2 and start from scratch?
Or do I have also have to go and clear out some settings/cache or something on the device I am backing up? (The “backup” in the Web-GUI?)
Thanks,
Carl

More prudent solution would be to create a new snapshot id in the same storage. That way if duplciacy ends up generating the same chunks – those won’ need to be uploaded again and you will save time uploading stuff.

Once you are done with the first backup to the new snapshot id – you can delete old snapshot id and then prune -all to delete orphaned chunks.
