Hello,

what's the prefered way to copy/move backups of one or more hosts from 
one BackupPC instance to another?

I searched the BackupPC docs and google, but didn't find a working 
solution so far. It seems like BackupPC_tarPCCoppy could be useful. I 
tried to create a tar archive with all the hard links using 
'/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /backup/pc/<HOST> > 
/backup/<HOST>.tar'. Then I copied the tar archive to the new server, 
changed into '/backup/pc' and executed 'cat /backup/<HOST>.tar | tar 
xvPf -'. Unfortunately, this didn't work. Instead it produced thousands 
of error messages like the following:

tar: 
./<HOST>/0/f%2f/fusr/fshare/fdoc/ftelnet/fcopyright_117915470727842: 
Cannot hard link to 
`/var/lib..pc/cpool/7/f/6/7f6421e9a287696d216393515ed704a9': No such 
file or directory

Regards,
