Yeah - that's exactly what I was saying... it's a 1 or 2 liner script. > > Btw, where did you find the missing pool files? I kept a copy of my old v3 pool... I also edited BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 to save (i.e. rename) the old pc tree rather than delete it... Then I could copy over the v4 to a new disk because no messy hard links, leaving me with my intact v3... Actually, it may not be a bad idea to add that as an option to BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 to allow preservation of the old... > > For the benefit of people on the list, Jeff and I are addressing the other > issues off-list. > > Craig > > On Tue, Jun 9, 2020 at 6:48 PM <backu...@kosowsky.org> wrote: > > > Of course, the unanswered interesting question is why did this small > > number of 37 files out of about 3.5M pool files fail to migrate > > properly from v3 to v4... > > > > Note: I ran as many checks before and after as possible on the pool > > and pc heirarchy integrity (using my old v3 routines I had written) as > > well as checked error messages from the migration itself.
