Hello everyone, One of the tools I've written for easier BackupPC maintenance is BackupPC_changePool. This script makes it easier to change the location of the pool, which is of benefit for people who would like to rotate external drives. I will be investigating implementing the 'snapshot' utility later, but for the time being it's in development.
This script is included in BackupPC Community Edition 3.1.0+ftp. Be sure to adjust your library include paths appropriately. >From the beginning of the file: # BackupPC_changePool: Move, change, or copy the pool to another # location on the filesystem. # # DESCRIPTION # # Usage: BackupPC_changePool --[new|switch|snapshot] <newPool> # # new: this option creates a new empty pool at <newPool> and updates # the global configuration file with the location. This # is the default behavior. # # switch: this option updates the configuration information to look # at <newPool> for pool information. This option does not # perform any other disk operations. # # snapshot: THIS OPTION IS NOT YET SUPPORTED. This option places a # snapshot the current pool to the location specified by # <newPool>. It can later be switched to with the # --switch option. The location folder must be empty # before the command is run. # Adios, -- Paul Mantz http://www.mcpantz.org Zmanda - Open source backup and recovery http://www.zmanda.com/
