I was reading the prune command and I understood that if you use-id and -storage option, that you could go to a 2nd PC to any folder and then you could prune the -id and -storage from the 1st PC, assuming this is online storage. When I tried it, I received a message that the repository has not been initiated.
On the 2nd PC I was hoping to be able to initiate a prune command, as pruning can take longer than the backup. Is this possible?
Yes, you can do that. You got the error because you didn’t initialize the new repository on the other PC first.
First run the init command to initialize the new repository on the other PC with the same repository id and the same storage url. And then run duplicacy set -no-backup -no-restore to avoid accidental backup or restore. Now you can run the prune command to prune unwanted backups.
Thanks for the instructions. Worked like a charm.
This is a nice feature to have.
