I see a number of topics about restoring info to a different PC/location. This is a question about restoring FROM a different storage/location…
Hypothetically:
If I were to use duplicacy to backup multiple PCs (and servers) to one, onsite storage location (“default”)…
Then I were to take consistent snapshots of that onsite storage for external, redundant backups.
If the default storage location for duplicacy no longer exists, obviously future backups fail. If I need to restore from remote storage (and that onsite storage is gone – unreachable), can I simply “add” the remote storage on each client and then restore from there? Is the default storage required to be available when you “add” another storage? Probably with some of the flags to make it identical (because it would logically be a copy of the original storage, with identical naming of chunks, encryption, etc.)?
Just trying to see if this strategy will work in theory.
Thanks again…
