I plan to backup (with rsync) some machines with nearly identical data (operating system). Because this machines are only reachable through internet I want to avoid a lot of traffic for files which are already on the backuppc server. I assume rsync will only compare the data between the client and the backup of the client and not between client and cpool!?
So my idea: 0) create host1 with the backuppc gui 1) host1 runs a full backup 2) create host2 with the backuppc gui 3) cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host1/0 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host2/0 4) cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host1/backups /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host2/backups 5) run a full backup for host2 6) run BackupPC_deleteBackup -c host2 -d 0 Someone believe that this will make a problem? If somebody is interested I can make a script (similiar the BackupPC_deleteBackup) and store it in the wiki. br Matthias -- Don't Panic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
