Hello,
I’m looking for advice about how to add erasure coding to existing storage. My current setup, using Duplicacy Web:
Storage (not initialized with erasure coding):
- LOCAL: Storage repository on local HDD
- B2: Storage repository on BackBlaze B2
Schedules:
- HOME: Backup contents of home directory on local SSD → LOCAL
- BULK: Backup large files from local HDD (excluding LOCAL repository) → B2
- COPY: Copy LOCAL → B2
Assuming Backblaze’s own erasure coding scheme makes Duplicacy’s erasure coding unnecessary on my B2 repository, what’s the best way to replace my LOCAL repo with one that uses erasure coding without disruption to my COPY schedule? I’m hoping that subsequent copies from the new erasure-encoded LOCAL repo to the existing B2 repo won’t require re-uploading to B2 everything from the new LOCAL repo that was already copied there from the existing LOCAL repo.
Thanks!
Luke
