delete rsnapshot directories

backup debian-jessie rsnapshot

Solution 1:

You are right about backup files being hard links and it is safe to just delete the backup directory.

Hard links are just pointers, so if a file have two hard links then the space occupied by this file will only be reclaimed by OS when both links are deleted.
