Hello there,
I have two servers, a 24/7 server and a backup-server just running once a week.
Now I want to move backups older than x-days to the backup-server. My thought was that I just move the files from the 24/7 server to the backup-server and if I need one of the archives, I just move it back. But I think this will interfere with urBackup.
What would be the best way to do this? Archive before moving?
clone the 24/7 server to a new machine, prune the new machines backups so they resemble the weekly backups with moved backups, prune the old 24/7 to just x-days. You could reuse the backup-server but a bit more risky. I don’t think you can just move backups and all their hardlinks and db entries between machines.
In addition I should say I only use images as backups, no file backups.
OK but each machine has a separate db. I don’t think there is functionality to move an image and its metadata from one db into another db.
Hm, sad.
Thanks for your help
