Re: [BackupPC-users] how to run script

[Guy M. <gma...@gm...>]

Thanks for that but as per Backuppc' instructions this would increase
drastically the storage space up to when the full circle is achieved and the
non-compressed files are deleted from the pool.
That is why the program recommends disabling the backup, change the
compression value to >0, run the script that should move the files to the
compressed pool and only then restart the backup process.
This is what I'd like to do
