        that was previously upgraded from BackupPC 3 to 4 and displaying
        double graphs on the dashboard.</font></p>
    <p><font face="monospace">With the hint from the mail below, I found
        the name of the bottom empty image I wanted to get rid of which
        was in my case poolUsage4.png. The correct image is
        poolUsage52.png on this instance. I then moved (to delete later)
        the files :</font></p>
    <p><font face="monospace">poolUsage4.png<br>
        pool.rrd</font></p>
    <p><font face="monospace">from /var/lib/backuppc/log (the dashboard
        is now without graph) and then updated the graph with</font></p>

        /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255<br>

    <p><font face="monospace">This re-creates</font></p>
    <p><font face="monospace">poolUsage4.png<br>
        poolUsage52.png<br>
        poolUsage.rrd<br>
        <br>
        With the current timestamp. The dashboard now show correctly.
        Maybe it would have been enough to only remove the pool.rrd
        since the poolUsage4.png got recreated. In any case, dashboard
        clean again. Hope this can help someone.</font></p>

 &gt; Your description is way too long, but if you migrated the pool then new 
 &gt; BackupPC v4 uses a different way to generated a graphs. I remember it was 
 &gt; a bit fiddly to find out, on old V3 the the URL to image is like
 &gt; 
 &gt; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://server/backuppc/index.cgi?image=4">https://server/backuppc/index.cgi?image=4</a>
 &gt; 
 &gt; on new V4:
 &gt; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://server/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&amp;type=poolUsage&amp;num=4">https://server/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&amp;type=poolUsage&amp;num=4</a>
 &gt; 
 &gt; I can not find any note about how I made it to display new one, but on one 
 &gt; of backuppc I do have pictures from both - old and new pool.
 &gt; 
 &gt; It is possible that I had to delete the poolusage rrd or something too..
