I've been backing up my network using rsync for a long time because I've
rarely had a need to go back more than one day to retrieve a file I
wanted. However, after my upgrade to Debian 13, that backup has stopped
working. Rather than debug that, I figured now would be a good time to
implement a more versatile backup.
I've used bacula in the past for some business customers, but that was
pre-pandemic. My expertise is both dated and rusty.
My issue is, can I import my existing backup files into bacula and use
them as the basis for future incremental backups? They are basically
just copies of the files I want to back up, with the same directory
structure but with a different root. My idea is to import them into
bacula then switch the nightly backups to the original folders so new
backups reflect the changed files only.
The reason I want to do this is the rsync backups contain files that may
be missing from my current working folders. I don't want to lose them
but I also don't want to reverse the rsync to restore them to their
original locations.
Any help will be appreciated.
