When I check my LinHES backup/systembackups I see: Code: drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 3 2017 2017-06-03_09-58 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 27 2018 2018-11-27_10-27 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 13 2019 2019-02-13_14-30 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 24 2019 2019-05-24_16-06 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 26 2019 2019-05-26_01-04 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 2 2019 2019-06-02_01-04 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 28 10:31 2019-07-28_10-31 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Dec 31 14:09 2019-12-31_14-09 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 2 13:48 2020-01-02_13-48 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624503138 Dec 23 01:08 backup.2019-12-23_00-58.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624317979 Dec 24 20:37 backup.2019-12-24_20-24.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4623286638 Dec 25 19:51 backup.2019-12-25_19-42.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624109786 Dec 27 10:28 backup.2019-12-27_10-17.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624290171 Dec 28 12:07 backup.2019-12-28_11-56.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624288446 Dec 29 14:51 backup.2019-12-29_14-40.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624483844 Dec 30 00:50 backup.2019-12-30_00-40.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624512292 Dec 31 14:32 backup.2019-12-31_14-22.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624144116 Jan 1 14:15 backup.2020-01-01_14-05.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3547381760 Jan 2 13:58 backup.2020-01-02_13-48.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624255784 Jan 2 16:10 backup.2020-01-02_16-01.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4624746554 Jan 3 18:58 backup.2020-01-03_18-49.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4625117855 Jan 4 10:01 backup.2020-01-04_09-50.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4625309721 Jan 5 02:50 backup.2020-01-05_02-41.tgz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 9 2019 errored_backups Several times I have deleted these directories (that I assume had come from backup jobs that faltered) and the next time I check they're back. How do I get rid of these directories once and for all? I do a secondary backup of LinHES and these directories, which do contain many files, are taking up time, space, and bandwidth. Most are too old to be of use. sparks |

Is there anything in errored_backups that lines up with the dir names? |

No. There were 3 tar.gz files in the error dir that had different dates. What I have tried is moving the dirs to /tmp and deleting them there. I'll have to wait and see if any reappear. I'm of the mind now that this is a linux problem and not a LinHES problem. But you (probably) knew that. s |

Check the myth_mtc.log and see if any of those dates show. |

I finally figured out what was going on. The linhes backup job reaches a point where, if a remote backup storage is enabled, it copies the backup directory to a remote server. If a remote backup store is not enabled, it copies the backup directory to another system disk. This keeps the system from burying the map with the treasure. You probably see where this is going. I kept deleting the files and folders from the backup of the backup. When the linhes backup job ran, it copied, from the main backup directory, the files I thought I had deleted. *sigh*  As Emily Litella would say: Never mind. sparks |

Good to see that you got to the "root" of the problem
