Hi all,

What is the best way to move a pgBackrest repo?

It was configured as /var/lib/pgbackrest, but we want to move it to
/data/pbackrest to get it off the root partition.

It is being written to continually by archivers from several servers. Since
access is over ssh, there's no server component that we can just stop for
the duration.

Thanks,

Colin
