Delete Individual Hot Backups

Hot backup, analogous to virtual machine snapshots, cause additional disk usage. With every hot backup a consistent state in time is frozen. Later changes will then have to hold a difference to older backups. Compactions no longer can cover events before the last hot backup. Naturally, one may want to be able to free disk space, once backups become obsolete.

arangobackup delete --server.username root --identifier <identifier>

The result of the operation is thus delivered:

2019-05-15T15:34:34Z [16257] INFO {backup} Server version: 3.4.5
2019-05-15T15:34:34Z [16257] INFO {backup} Successfully deleted '2019-05-15T13.57.03Z'
