Add more storage / upgrade storage SOLVED

Server
8

Hi All,

I managed to upgrade the storage size without any issue. followed a few steps

My Setup.

Windows environment:

  1. Make sure you have the latest backup in your OLD backup drive (just to be in the safe side)

  2. Stop urbackup server services

  3. Make sure your new (bigger HDD/s) placed on the same or in different machine

  4. I used Hardlinks to copy data from old to new HDD. options I used (hardlink + preserve links are recreated at the backup set the original links structure will be preserved)

  5. When all data is copied, just change the drive letter. or (change setting the backup destination)

For me, it took about a 4 days to copy all the data to a new place.

now it all works fine.

Thanks all for their inputs.
