Hi,

Earlier today I upgraded my Debian server from 4.0 to 5.0.  The upgrade 
to BackupPC defaulted to compression level 3 (it had been at 0) and I 
decided that this would be as good a time as any to turn it on.  There 
was a comment in the config file saying to run BackupPC_compressPool to 
compress existing files.  I didn't have a chance then, but made a note 
to do it later...

[8 hours pass]

... it is now later, and I'm reading up on BackupPC_compressPool.  The 
documentation (BackupPC-2.0.2_doc.html) says "there must be no existing 
compressed backups when you run BackupPC_compressPool".  Well.  My 
BackupPC server has been running, and probably backing up clients, since 
I turned on compression.  There are almost certainly (I haven't checked) 
some compressed backups now.

Is it really too late to run BackupPC_compressPool?  Is there anything I 
can do, or am I forever doomed to having both uncompressed and 
compressed copies of the same files, until they expire?

Thank you,

Randy Orrison
