Removing a file(s) or folder(s) from all backups

Still testing…

No, I have not used the version option.

I think one issue may be that the 2 short dashes were changed to 1 long dash below:

Question: For backups of Mac folders with a space in the folder name, how should the command be handled? A few possible options are:

/Users/macusernamehere/Documents/folder name here/*
/Users/macusernamehere/Documents/folder\ name\ here/*
/Users/macusernamehere/Documents/folder_name_here/*

Another challenge is that it takes a very long time (several minutes for each level of the backup’s folder hierarchy, so a deeply nested folder in multiple backups takes hours altogether!) to see if running a purge command has worked or not. This separate, but related, challenge seems to be under discussion already. Also, the past few attempts to open each restore version page for the backup produces this pop-up:

Error
Missing XSRF Token. Please reload the page

Pressing OK on this pop-up seems to make it go away without any further obvious issue at this point.

Another challenge is that I often run into “database is locked” errors, even though nothing is happening with the database. Usually, running a “verify” first, then running a “commandline…” seems to address this issue when it occurs.
