I'm asking for advice and BPs regarding post migration. We are using the latest version of B&R.
So we migrated from Windows Server to Ubuntu Linux.
So far the previous backups of the jobs are stored in a temp server. The jobs have been launched to do an Active Full backup as of starting a new chain of backups.
My question is:
- should we also copy the old backups and let Veeam discover them? We want to do this mainly because we want to migrate other Windows Repository and need the storage space that is the temp server.
- if yes, then what is the best way to copy old backups in the temp server to the new Linux server? winscp? rsync? etc?
- Will the old backups be discovered if we rescan once we copy them over to the Linux repo?
another this is the folder sructure:
on the Windows Server it was:
K:\
Rep1 (folder)
Rep2 (folder)
Rep3 (folder)
Rep4 (folder)
but now on Linux we created new folders and new name:
/mnt/veeam/Rep5
/mnt/veeam/Rep6
/mnt/veeam/Rep7
/mnt/veeam/Rep8
and the jobs basically now point to (old windows repo -> new Linux repo):
was: Rep1 -> now: Rep5
was: Rep2 -> now: Rep6
was: Rep3 -> now: Rep7
was: Rep4 -> now: Rep8
any input or help is very much appreciated

Kind regards.
