Hello, what's the prefered way to copy/move backups of one or more hosts from one BackupPC instance to another?
I searched the BackupPC docs and google, but didn't find a working solution so far. It seems like BackupPC_tarPCCoppy could be useful. I tried to create a tar archive with all the hard links using '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /backup/pc/<HOST> > /backup/<HOST>.tar'. Then I copied the tar archive to the new server, changed into '/backup/pc' and executed 'cat /backup/<HOST>.tar | tar xvPf -'. Unfortunately, this didn't work. Instead it produced thousands of error messages like the following: tar: ./<HOST>/0/f%2f/fusr/fshare/fdoc/ftelnet/fcopyright_117915470727842: Cannot hard link to `/var/lib..pc/cpool/7/f/6/7f6421e9a287696d216393515ed704a9': No such file or directory Regards, jonas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
