So I have PBS running to backup my home lab cluster. And it is working fine and I backup everything there and from there on tape as well.
As data protection is becoming more and more important, I am wondering whether there is a way to selectively remove individual files or folders from not just one backup but rather all backups
Say you are a doctor and need to remove a patient's file or you are a landlord and need to remove a former tenant's info, or you are a lawyer and need to remove a client's data or whatever. You could go in to the datastore, open each individual backup, click your way through to the respective drive, folder and file and delete it. And repeat that for every backup which could be a few, if you backup daily.
So is there maybe a better way to select a particular file (or folder) and have it removed from every backup?
If so, if there maybe even a way to remove that file (or folder) from tape backups?
If not, what is the best practice in the times of GDPR?
