Is it possible to convert tib to tibx?
Hello!
I'd like to move some backups out of a deduplicated storage node to a simple network folder in a tibx format to leverage their inner deduplication and the fact that they don't have a metadata file next to them. I can export the backups no problem, but I can't see any options for compression or the format used.
My usage would be to keep the last backup of some decommisioned/reinstalled machines that will no longer have scheduled backups. I'd like to keep these separate from the active backups I keep in a deduplicated storage node, but have them use as little space as possible, which is why I was looking for tibx and/or compression options.
Neither exporting a backup nor creating a temporary replication plan offers such options. Can I assume it would only be possible if I did a backup of these machines specifically in v12 format?
Thanks,
-- Peter
