Hello,
I have been using Kopia for my backup solution for almost a year now. Over the year, I have been using a single repo with a lot of snapshot directories. Recently, I made a lot changes to the directories on my machine. My old setup was something like :
/some random directory 1/folder 1
/some random directory 2/folder 2
/some random directory 3/folder 3
...
...
I moved most of the stuff to a single directory so that I could run, log and debug local scripts more effectively. My current setup looks like a single directory holding ‘folder 1’, ‘folder 2’, ‘folder 3’, … :
/My Main directory/folder 1
/My Main directory/folder 2
/My Main directory/folder 3
...
...
Now, I want to incorporate this change in the Kopia repo (preserve the snapshot history). I read that you could move or copy the history (copy and move), but this is most likely for different users, hostnames or repositories. Maybe I could create a new snapshot of the Main directory and then run kopia snapshot move-history "user1@host1://some random directory 1/folder 1" "user1@host1://My Main directory/folder 1". I am not sure if I could this and that is why I would like to ask first before making changes to the repo as downloading full repo to restore would be very resource intensive.
Could anyone suggest me some steps/insights/docs to follow?
Thanks.
