Migrate data from one datastore to another on the same PBS server

[David Thistlethwaite]

I would like to know if anyone has successfully migrate data from one datastore to another.
Specifically I want to migrate multiple datastores in to a single datastore to get better dedup savings.

Thanks in advance for any experiences you wish to share

hi,

while there is no direct 'move/copy to datastore' directly, you can use e.g. 'localhost' as a remote and do a pull sync into the target datastore

I have setup some local test datastore's and all seems to be working well, with a minor error reported, the error is:

2023-03-21T13:13:46-06:00: download "/bup/fs2/ns/astrophotography-3/host/pve-pbs-n1/2023-03-21T17:49:43Z/client.log.blob"
2023-03-21T13:13:46-06:00: GET /download: 404 Not Found: open file "/bup/fs2/ns/astrophotography-3/host/pve-pbs-n1/2023-03-21T17:49:43Z/client.log.blob" failed - not found
2023-03-21T13:13:46-06:00: TASK ERROR: connection error: not connected

Any ideas why this might be happening or if I should be concerned ?

Thanks again

you can ignore these, it's the downside of the localhost sync.
