How to migrate pbs backups to a new disc set

[Brian Read]

I currently have a pbs running on 2x2tb+1x1tb discs on an lvm volume across all 3 discs. I originally set this up as a test , but it has worked well for 9 months now!

Clearly I need to re-organise with a new new set of discs in a more redundant way. I'll go for 3 x 2tb using ZFS perhaps, or a Raid1 organisation.

However I need to know if I can migrate my existing set of backups to the new disc set? I've seen that rsync has been suggested, but it is not clear to me if that is a viable option.

Some feedback would be appreciated before I embark on this.

Cheers Brian

I tried and I recreated the empty datastore in the new machine then I copied the data from the old datastore to the new one with rsync and everything reappeared

Thanks, that is really good to know.
