Hi,

I have a problem for which I'm not sure a proper solution exists, but
let me try anyway.

In my current setup, I have a BackupPC server with about 4.0TB of
storage of which 2.7TB is in use. One host is responsible for most of
the backup data (~ 1.5TB), and yesterday I migrated this host to a
different server. Added to that, I moved the data to a different/more
sane place on the filesystem.

So now I have the situation that BackupPC has up to a year of backups of
the old host, but there is not enough room to start backing up the new
host/directories. And even if I did, it would be silly to backup the
same data twice.

So my question is: can anybody think of an elegant way to re-use the
currently backed up data so that I can keep the current backups and not
start from scratch? The not-so-elegant solution that comes to mind is to
rename the old host on the BackupPC server and create symlinks so that
the old directories still exist on the new server.

Thanks,

Maarten
