Right, I guess I should have mentioned that I don't trust that old HDD anymore. Plus keeping backups of two old clients that only exist in BackupPC has been a bad idea because if my backups get corrupted or deleted, I don't have the original data to fall back to anymore. kosowsky.org wrote: > > You could actually do it -- and I have done similar but it requires > some effort and manual work... and hence there are risks of making mistakes.. > The process goes something like this. That is amazing. I think I will try that. At least for the two old clients that don't exist in the new BackupPC installation, the process looks not entirely horrible.
