Re: [BackupPC-users] Merging backups

i think that on one hand, this may not matter, because pooling would make sure that files are only stored once.

but it does make a bit of a mess in so far as having one machine refer to one thing goes.

i'd like to do something similar (the machines on one network are very poorly named, and i didn't want to change all the names around, but didn't think of using clientalias's, which i should have. so now we have machines named corp-1, corp-2, corp-2, corp-xxyz, and it's a PAIN to know what belongs to who!!!)

thanks.

I have a situation where a single laptop was replaced twice, but with
all the data ghosted from one laptop to another. The computer name was
then changed, and a new BackupPC entry created. I therefore have three
sets of non-overlapping backups in BackupPC, but they really refer to
the same set of data. How can I merge the three sets of backup data into
one set going forward?
