Hi, Earlier today I upgraded my Debian server from 4.0 to 5.0. The upgrade to BackupPC defaulted to compression level 3 (it had been at 0) and I decided that this would be as good a time as any to turn it on. There was a comment in the config file saying to run BackupPC_compressPool to compress existing files. I didn't have a chance then, but made a note to do it later...
[8 hours pass] ... it is now later, and I'm reading up on BackupPC_compressPool. The documentation (BackupPC-2.0.2_doc.html) says "there must be no existing compressed backups when you run BackupPC_compressPool". Well. My BackupPC server has been running, and probably backing up clients, since I turned on compression. There are almost certainly (I haven't checked) some compressed backups now. Is it really too late to run BackupPC_compressPool? Is there anything I can do, or am I forever doomed to having both uncompressed and compressed copies of the same files, until they expire?
