/var/lib/backuppc has its own harddisk. The problem is, that the harddisk is full and there is no LVM or RAID.So is it possible to change the harddisk like this (without to lose the backups)? 1. stop backuppc 2. Install the new harddisk and set the mountpoint to /var/lib/backupc 3. copy all data stored on the old harddisk to the new one with rsync -H /old_harddisk /new_var/lib/backuppc 4. start backuppc
rsync -paH or something might be better, but because of all the hardlinks it might take quite a while to copy all the data. The fastest way to copy and preserve everything is probably to use dd to copy everything to the new drive and then grow the filesystem afterwards.
Nils Breunese.P.S. You could also just start over and keep the old disk around for emergency...
