Old snapshots linger after running uninstall.sh and deleting repo (v0.17.2) about backrest

The script could be interactive, e.g. Backup backrest config.xml (n/Y), Clear repo snapshot history (y/N). A wiki page would be great. Thank you for all your work.

Hey, these are stored in ~/.local/share/backrest on unix systems (specifically oplog.boltdb in that folder).

[zz0rk]

Great, thank you. Would it make sense to add this to the documentation,e.g. to back up confg.xml if needed and the location of the snapshot history. It may be obvious to some, but it would be great to have it documented. Thank you very much!

Agreed -- Backrest perhaps needs a wiki page https://garethgeorge.github.io/backrest/docs/ that covers the storage directories that it uses etc.

I can also see the argument for having uninstall.sh clear out this directory (perhaps still leave behind the config? I really don't want to risk obliterating a user's repo keys if they've not backed them up -- though users definitely should).
