That's probably the best approach.   If you need to keep any older
snapshots you can make tar images with BackupPC_tarCreate from the old
server.

Hi


Never mind the more simple solution that I adopted is make new backups,
starting with all  full backups

Can you purchase the hard drive(s) out of the server?

Whether it is practical to rsync the whole archive directory or not
will depend on the overall size and to a certain extent to the amount
of RAM in the server.  Expect it to take several days anyway.You
can use dd to copy the entire drive or partition to a similarly-sized
device.

Luigi-
There is no way I know of to convert your V3 pool to V4, and I can confirm that 
it is
impractical to try to copy or duplicate your V3 pool to a new system due to the 
way it is
hard-linked internally.
The earlier recommendation to run your New BackupPC server (v4) while the old 
server (v3)
is available is  a generally good best practice when making this kind of shift.

I've never worked with v4 yet, so someone else will have to answer this.

It is V3 and the new backuppc server have V4.
I cannot preserve the old server I will return it because it was on leasing.
which is the solution. Can I convert V3 to V4 and after can I make the
migration to new server ?
Thanks

Is this BackupPC v3 or v4?
With v3, the number of symlinks make it impractical to copy data from one
machine to another (you can do it if you dd the partition to a partition on
the new machine, but don't try a file-level copy unless you use some
specialized scripts and really know what you're doing).

It's generally easiest to just set up a new server and keep the old one
around as a backup until the data can be considered 'expired'. Much simpler
and more reliable than trying to migrate data.

For BackupPC v4 I have no experience.
