    I don’t know this tool, but it’s probably using hard links on the filesystem. Deleting any individual instance of the file won’t delete it until they are all deleted

      So, lets say i have 5 backups.

      If I delete 3rd backup leaving others, others should be fine?

      But what If I deleted the very first one?
