Without looking into it carefully I couldn't be sure that swapping the
storage device from under BackupPC wouldn't actually cause more issues
than the one which you're trying to address. At the very least I think
you'd want to look at the 'nightly' processes (these *may* take several
nightly runs to complete) to make sure you haven't clobbered something.
I'd definitely stop backuppc.service before swapping drives! The backup
state is all in /var/lib/BackupPC, and the config is all in
/etc/BackupPC which I bind-mound from a directory on the drive, so the
whole thing should be self-contained.
The main problem is that "yesterday's" backup might be off-site for
someone who needs a semi-recent file restored. But I don't see much way
to solve that without keeping the previous backup media on-site.
