3 should be pretty fast as its an incremental backup.<br>
4 may take a little while but iirc it's not too bad for this db - maybe 10 minutes.<br>
Most of the downtime is caused by rebuilding the index which takes way longer (30 min?)<br>
<br>
So I had two questions:<br>
<br>
1) would it be safe to copy the index file from the old host and just use that with the filestorage generated by repozo?<br>

Almost certainly not.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>OK, good to know, thanks. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

2) should I maybe ditch repozo and just rsync everything? That'd replace step 3 with a second call to rsync, and eliminate steps 4 and 6. But I'm not sure how fast it is at updating a big binary file. I think I'll do an experiment today and report back on this option.<br>

I suppose you could look at zeoraid.<br></blockquote><div><br>Hadn't thought of that, will look at it, thanks!<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Have you tried just starting with an empty index file?<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>Yes - zeo takes ages to be usable while it builds the new index from scratch.<br>That's the whole problem. <br>
