Hi,
Earlier today I upgraded my Debian server from 4.0 to 5.0. The upgrade
to BackupPC defaulted to compression level 3 (it had been at 0) and I
decided that this would be as good a time as any to turn it on. There
was a comment in the config file saying to run BackupPC_compressPool to
compress existing files. I didn't have a chance then, but made a note
to do it later...
[8 hours pass]
... it is now later, and I'm reading up on BackupPC_compressPool. The
documentation (BackupPC-2.0.2_doc.html) says "there must be no existing
compressed backups when you run BackupPC_compressPool". Well. My
BackupPC server has been running, and probably backing up clients, since
I turned on compression. There are almost certainly (I haven't checked)
some compressed backups now.
Is it really too late to run BackupPC_compressPool? Is there anything I
can do, or am I forever doomed to having both uncompressed and
compressed copies of the same files, until they expire?
Thank you,
Randy Orrison
