Convert full install to proxy

Post by sjrh72 »

Hi,

I need to convert an existing installation of B&R 9.5 (U3) to a proxy that will be managed by another existing installation in another country, what's the best way to accomplish this?
There are a number of backup and copy jobs running on the server totaling about 10TB writing to a local SAN. Is it possible to just install the proxy components and reconfigure or import the jobs on the remote server?

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

Do you have any already running jobs managed by another VBR installation where you want to migrate data?

Thanks!

There are jobs running on the remote server, but those jobs are local to that location, the jobs on the server I want to convert are managed locally at the moment.

Steven,

There is no way to import just jobs, so you will have to re-create them from scratch on the new server and use a backup mapping feature (this will allow you to continue running incremental backup chains).

Thanks!
