Ok, this is what I did to make the migration works. I had Backuppc 3.1 installed on a Debian Etch server. The pool is located on a NFS storage resource and mounted on the Backuppc Server. I wanted to migrate to an Ubuntu 10.04LTS server, with Backuppc always 3.1, keeping the same pool on NFS storage.
- install backuppc on the new server. - mount the NFS storage on the same position/path. - be sure that the "backuppc" UID and GID are the same as for the old server. I had to change them manually. This is important to me because my NFS keep file permissions and ownership of the files. - In /etc/backuppc: -- I reconfigured the config.pl based on the old one. I didn't copied directly the old one. -- Reconfigured the hosts file based on the old one. -- Copied the "servers.pl" files from the old server to the new one. -- Copied the ht* files from the old server to the new one. - changed the configuration of apache2 as documentation explain. - Stopped the backuppc daemon on the old server and unmounted the NFS pool storage. - Started the backuppc daemon on the new server. - tested backup and restore manually. Checked the configuration around. - tested the automatic backup during night. This seems enough.
