Conceptually, I don't think it would be that hard... 1. Run BackupPC_zcat on the cpool and pipe output to the corresponding pool tree 2. Change the 'compress' entry in each relevant 'backupinfo' file in the pc tree to '0' 3. Change the config.pl file to use the pool (i.e. no compression) Maybe there is more to do, but that should be the basics... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ 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/
