@squirrel no no

you are a bunny and that is why they are so good. 😉

@InspectorCaracal blhrgflghb i dont have that much self esteem cal

@squirrel baby bunny hops! you'll get there!

@InspectorCaracal fghmgndg

cal why you so good to me

@squirrel oH NO I FORGOT ABOUT THE BACKUPS PROBLEM AGAIN

@InspectorCaracal it's okkkkkk dont get yourself worked up abt it

@squirrel okay so I think I figured it out the problem

after thinking I'd figured out the problem six times and realizing I was wrong

there needs to be a / at the end of the BACKUP_DIR directory in the config file

@InspectorCaracal ohh.....

that.s'....... a bad.....

@squirrel yeah <.< it's just concatenating that variable with the backup-folder names, so that's why all the backup folders are databasedatestuff instead of database/datestuff

but then the script is trying to look in the folder database/ but it doesn't exist

(I'm still in but don't have permissions to change, so you'll need to)

@InspectorCaracal ill just remove 'database'

@squirrel sounds good~

@InspectorCaracal also i put you on mastodon group but i think you already had sudo

@squirrel okay I renamed all your existing backup folders to take the extraneous "database" out of the filename so the script can find them and start cleaning up properly
