We have them on the old machine. We shutdown the service and will
retain the old information as long as we need to.

I would have preferred to migrate it but the BackupPC_tarPCCopy script
was not supported on the OS the old system was running on.

The BackupPC_tarPCCopy scripts works fine on the new system though.
