Hello everyone,
One of the tools I've written for easier BackupPC maintenance is
BackupPC_changePool. This script makes it easier to change the
location of the pool, which is of benefit for people who would like to
rotate external drives. I will be investigating implementing the
'snapshot' utility later, but for the time being it's in development.
This script is included in BackupPC Community Edition 3.1.0+ftp. Be
sure to adjust your library include paths appropriately.
>>From the beginning of the file:
# BackupPC_changePool: Move, change, or copy the pool to another
# location on the filesystem.
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Usage: BackupPC_changePool --[new|switch|snapshot] <newPool>
#
# new: this option creates a new empty pool at <newPool> and
updates
# the global configuration file with the location. This
# is the default behavior.
#
# switch: this option updates the configuration information to
look
# at <newPool> for pool information. This option does not
# perform any other disk operations.
#
# snapshot: THIS OPTION IS NOT YET SUPPORTED. This option places a
# snapshot the current pool to the location specified by
# <newPool>. It can later be switched to with the
# --switch option. The location folder must be empty
# before the command is run.
#
Adios,
