Fantastic, I will do the tests next week. Honestly I did not expect the
change to get through so fast :-)
Craig, thanks a lot for you wonderful work. And thanks Michael for the
initial testing!
Best regards,
Pavel.

Works great, zero problems. Test restores function properly.
Awesome!

I pushed bin/BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 to git. It uses the hybrid approach I
mentioned - V3 backups still use the same forward deltas; this script only
replaces the hardlinked backups in each directory with V4 attrib files (and
MD5 digests).
Usage:
BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 [-p] [-v] [-h host [-n V3ba

Agreed! A 10TB tar file on spinning media not practical. You already have

Actually we are based on drives only. I could make a huge 10TB tar and
put it somewhere but the idea of conversion and having all the backupcs
together...
Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestion, should the hybrid storage not
perhaps make the way through I will head in this direction.

Craig,
I very much appreciate your help. I will definitely be testing. If there
is anything to help, I will gladly do so, backuppc has been our major
friend for a decade.
Thanks a lot,
Pavel

Mph,
I probably will write a script that implements the hybrid upgrade, so even
if you archive your V3 backups, please keep some of them around for testing
:).

Oh those pesky deltas!
I slept on it; it's better to make a break with the past. I'm going to
tar up the old data+hardlinks and put it to cold storage.
Time is a finite resource so I'd rather move forward than get stuck in
the weeds of the past.
Pavel - have you considered using tar+tape to a
There are two options to implement this:
- truly convert v3 backups to v4 format. This is quite complex since
forward deltas (ie, incrementals) would have to be converted into reverse
deltas; there are lots of cases to consider and testing them all would take
a lot of time. The effor
Hi Craig -
among the billion other things to do in life - is this reasonably
possible? I looked at the perl and came to the considered conclusion,
I'm just not a perl guy. However, it would be great to convert older
backups to v4 - that would reduce my workload on BTRFS snapshops, etc.
No har
Hello,
please is it possible somehow to script the BackupPC_backupDuplicate
tool to be able to convert not only the last v3 backup to v4, but also
all previous backups? I would run the script in the background.
The intention is migrating from XFS to ZFS for server consolidation and
I am afraid
