Purge Bad Backups?: msg#00118

Subject: Purge Bad Backups?

We have good reason to believe one of our servers was recently cracked
at work. We have good backups that we have used to build a replacement
server (leaving everything intact on the cracked server so we can study
their intrusion method).

But now the question - we know there are one or two backups of that
server that have cracked files on them and the new server will have the
same hostname and ip addresses, for the sake of the domains hosted on
it. So, after we download any tar files we want to archive of the hacked
stuff, is there a way we can purge those backups from Backuppc? I want
to make sure we don't lose track of them in the regular backup shuffle
and accidentally depend on them as good backups.

TIA,
Jacob
