Enable treehash mode on old install

1

I have an old install that’s been upgraded from 1.x. Is there a way to enable treehash mode so CBT works without starting from scratch? I’m fine with wiping the existing backups but want to keep all the clients setup the same.

With

sqlite /var/urbackup/backup_server.db
sqlite> UPDATE misc SET tvalue=‘treehash’ WHERE tkey=‘hashing’;

Afterwards restart the server. You’ll need to run full file backups afterwards to flush the client side hashes from the clients. Otherwise you can tell it to ignore the hash comparison errors in the advanced settings on the server.

Perfect, thank you.
