4.4.3 Modifying Snapshot Metadata
Snapper allows to modify the description, the cleanup algorithm and the userdata of a
snapshot. All other metadata cannot be changed.
snapper modify -c "timeline" 10
Modies the metadata of snapshot 10 for the default (root) conguration. The
cleanup algorithm is set to timeline.
snapper -c home modify -d "daily backup" -c "" 120
Modies the metadata of snapshot 120 for a custom conguration named home.
A new description is set and the cleanup algorithm is unset.
4.4.4 Deleting Snapshots
To delete a snapshot, you need to know its number. Get it by running snapper list.
To delete a snapshot, run snapper delete NUMBER. When deleting a pre snapshot,
you should always delete its corresponding post snapshot (and vice-versa).
snapper delete 65
Deletes snapshot 65 for the default (root) conguration.
snapper -c home delete 89 90
Deletes snapshots 89 and 90 for a custom conguration named home.
snapper delete 65
snapper -c myconfig delete 89 90
TIP: Old Snapshots Occupy More Disk Space
If you delete snapshots in order to free space on your harddisk (see Sec-
tion 4.1.1, “snapshots and Disk Space” (page 97) for details), make sure to
delete old snapshots rst. The older a snapshot is, the more disk space it occu-
pies.
Snapshots are also automatically deleted by a daily cron-job. Refer to Section 4.4.1.2,
“Cleanup-algorithms” (page 106) for details.
