Notes on transfering backuppc pc directories *with* hardlinks
Untarring with hardlinks
The command for extracting a tar made with BackupPC_tarPCCopy:
cd newbackupfs/pc tar -xPv
(the P is important)
Piping the restore through netcat
on source server:
BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname | nc mystic 9800
where hostname is the backup host. I had to do each one individually, else it would abort after one or two.
on dest server:
cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc nc -l -p 9800 | tar -xPpvf -
