Yeah, pgbackrest doesn't ever really think you want to get rid of *all*
of your backups. :)
It's rare, but
is occasionally needed.
So, in version 2.07, what's the secret sauce for deleting that final copy?
If this is the only backup and the only cluster being backed up into
that repository, you could just nuke the whole repo and recreate it with
stanza-create once you're ready to have backups again..
That occurred to me while lying in bed. Use "stanza-delete"?
