change backup location #228

I tried to change my backup location while I want to keep my existing old backups. Unfortunately with "rsync -avH" the hard-links seems ignored and each file will be copied. Is there a way to copy the existing old backups including the hard links to a new location?

Try seeing if this solves your question

Unfortunately no. The new backup locations size is different from the source. I still don't have a good solution for this problem.

Even if you duplicate the drive?
