bup-rm(1)		    General Commands Manual		     bup-rm(1)

NAME
       bup-rm -	remove references to archive content

SYNOPSIS
       bup rm [-#|--verbose] <branch|save...>

DESCRIPTION
       bup  rm removes the indicated branches (backup sets) and	saves.	By it-
       self, this command does not delete any actual  data  (nor  recover  any
       storage	space),	but it may make	it very	difficult or impossible	to re-
       fer to the deleted items, unless	there are  other  references  to  them
       (e.g. tags).

       A subsequent garbage collection,	either by a bup	gc, or by a normal git
       gc,  may	 permanently  delete data that is no longer reachable from the
       remaining branches or tags, and reclaim the related storage space.

       WARNING:	This is	one of the few bup commands that modifies your archive
       in intentionally	destructive ways.

OPTIONS
       -v, --verbose
	      increase verbosity (can be used more than	once).

       -#, --compress=#
	      set the compression level	to # (a	value from 0-9,	where 9	is the
	      highest and 0 is no compression).	 The default is	6.  Note  that
	      bup rm may only write new	commits.

EXAMPLES
	      #	Delete the backup set (branch) foo and a save in bar.
	      $	bup rm /foo /bar/2014-10-21-214720
