Re: [BackupPC-users] Merging backups

[Omid <bac...@om...>]

i think that on one hand, this may not matter, because pooling would make
sure that files are only stored once.
but it does make a bit of a mess in so far as having one machine refer to
one thing goes.

i'd like to do something similar (the machines on one network are very
poorly named, and i didn't want to change all the names around, but didn't
think of using clientalias's, which i should have.  so now we have machines
named corp-1, corp-2, corp-2, corp-xxyz, and it's a PAIN to know what
belongs to who!!!)

thanks.
