Solution​

1. Go to the differential backup directory path, as shown in the following example:

   assignment

   cd NFS_MOUNT/objectstore/backup/s3/diff
   cd NFS_MOUNT/objectstore/backup/s3/diff
   

2. List directories older than a specific epoch timestamp:

   assignment

   epoch=<timestamp-from-last-backup-you-want-to-keep>; for i in $(ls -1); do if [[ $i -lt $epoch ]]; then echo $i; fi; done
   epoch=<timestamp-from-last-backup-you-want-to-keep>; for i in $(ls -1); do if [[ $i -lt $epoch ]]; then echo $i; fi; done
   

   Replace <timestamp-from-last-backup-you-want-to-keep> with the epoch timestamp of the last backup you want to keep.

   This command lists all directories older than that timestamp.

3. After verifying the output, delete the old directories:

   assignment

   epoch=<timestamp-from-last-backup-you-want-to-keep>; for i in $(ls -1); do if [[ $i -lt $epoch ]]; then rm -rf $i; fi; done
   epoch=<timestamp-from-last-backup-you-want-to-keep>; for i in $(ls -1); do if [[ $i -lt $epoch ]]; then rm -rf $i; fi; done
