Due to stuff, I had to re-due my off-site backups (there gone, start from scratch). But to keep from having my off-site backups start with no history I started a copy to my remote location, from a local backup that has over a year of snapshots. The copy should be complete in a few weeks. After it finishes would I be able to convert this to a standard backup?
I’m using the Web GUI version on Ubuntu server.
My thinking would be to remove the copy from my schedule and replace it with a standard backup pointing to my off-site location. Would this work? Would Duplicacy see my existing backups (copied from local) and their history (snapshots) and just let me keep adding new snapshots?
The reason I would like to convert to a standard backup and not keep using copy would be to have different prune settings on the two locations. Or would that matter?
