Hi Craig - 

among the billion other things to do in life - is this reasonably possible?  I looked at the perl and came to the considered conclusion, I'm just not a perl guy.  However, it would be great to convert older backups to v4 - that would reduce my workload on BTRFS snapshops, etc.  No hardlinks makes moving large sums of data so much easier......

2cents.....

Hello,

please is it possible somehow to script the BackupPC_backupDuplicate
tool to be able to convert not only the last v3 backup to v4, but also
all previous backups? I would run the script in the background.

The intention is migrating from XFS to ZFS for server consolidation and
I am afraid I need to get rid of the hardlinks in the 10 yrs of
historical backups.

I have read about running an arbitrary filesystem over ZFS block device,
but  I am afraid of poor performance.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Pavel.
