Import snapshots made by JetBackup v3.1

Post by v8co4TQ94aiG »

Hello,

I'm currently running JetBackup 4.04.

I have replaced one of my cPanel server that was running JetBackup 3.1 by a better server that runs JetBackup 4.04.

Now I need to import all the snapshots that were made in the previous server but JetApps support is failing to provide a clear straight answer of how to achieve that. Does anyone here know how to achieve that?

The documentation really doesn't help, so this forum is my last resource before I say bye to JetBackup and go back to my incremental rsync backup scripts.

Thank you in advance

Kindly,

Al

Hi,

Just bumping it to add some clarifications :)

Any backup created through JetBackup 3.1 should be migrated to the new structure only through the migration process.

If there is a scenario in which you somehow added extra previously created backups (JetBackup 3.1) after it migrated - there is no way for JetBackup 4.0 to know about them.

JetBackup 4.0 is 40% faster then 3.1, In order to achieve that we had to change the concept, which basically means you can't move/add backups once they are created. We are no longer "scanning" folders and looking for backups, everything is indexed into meta files and into the database.

Thanks,
Eli.
