Copying a backshift repo from one place to another (appropriate when your backup storage server needs to be upgraded):
- rsync -avplt --delete /mnt/backshift-temporary/ /mnt/backshift-production/
In fact, if you need to merge two backshift repos, you can do that with rsync too, though you could
make sure there are no active backups at the time to be on the safe side. Note the absence of the --delete option this time!
And we've also added -u, to skip changing files that are newer in the destination hierarchy:
- rsync -avpltu /mnt/backshift-temporary/ /mnt/backshift-production/
There's no way to split a backshift repo in two (yet?).
