combine repositories

dlpreston
over 6 years ago

is there a way to combine different repository segments,  I have a repository that has 4 disks added over time to keep up with the data being backed up.  I have just got an additional San that has 180 tb of disk so I would like to move or copy all the repository data to 1 large disk.  Is there a way to do that other than archiving the data and importing it to new disk repository?

    The long and short of it, there is not a straight forward conversion method to migrate to a new repo. Having said that, there are the best options:

    1) Archive the data for and agent off, delete it, import it into the new repo.

    2) Setup replication to another temporary core. You'd setup a temporary core, setup the 'new' repo on that core, then configure replication to send all the agents/recovery points to that new core/repo. Once everything is sync'ed up, then decommission the old repo and present the 'new' one to the primary core.

    Thank you, replication is probably the best way to go.

    Yup, if you can do it/have the resources, w/o a doubt yes.
