Looking to finally move to V4.
Would love to eat my cake-and-have-it-too by eliminating all those
nasty linked pool files while preserving all my old V3 backups.
In the past I have done quite a bit of utility hacking into the V3
pool and tree structures so I am aware of the complexities at least in
V3 but I have no experience or knowledge of how trees and metadata are
stored in V4.
Has anyone written a clean migration utility that copies all backups
over (not just the latest)?
In a sense I have written half of it in the past in my
BackupPC_copyPcPool.pl.jjk that allows one to copy over BackupPC V3
archives by creating a text file download of the backup trees and then
a simple copy of the pool.
But I am not sure I have the time to write a new utility that would
dump this back into V4 format while converting the pool structure to
md5sum titling and organization.
Would you not just use this?
usage: BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 -a [-m] [-p] [-v]
BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 -h host [-n V3backupNum] [-m] [-p] [-v]
Options:
-a migrate all hosts and all backups
-h host migrate just a specific host
-n V3backupNum migrate specific host backup; does all V3 backups
for that host if not specified
-m don't migrate anything; just print what would be
done
-p don't print progress information
-v verbose
