Recordings on other hard drive, Moving it in live environment, Possible? any input appreciated!

[bdmonsey]

My server is filling up with recordings, i'm to 95% i do have an additional hard drive mounted to this server, whats the easiest and safest way moving over the old files and setting that all recordings from now to go to the new hard drive?

And at the same time, is is possible to store on like google drive or any other external syncing backup software?

Thanks

The script below will probably help save some space. This requires "ffmpeg" to convert the wav files to opus.
You will need to modify the directories to match your environment. My system records directly to a secondary dive mounted to "/mnt/retain"
The script runs during the night to convert "yesterday's" wav files to the space saving opus versions and updates database.

There are a few other versions of this script posted here on the forums.

#!/bin/sh
#
#  Needs ffmpeg to work.  Verify recordings directory and set database PW
#
PGPASSWORD="$(grep db_password /etc/fusionpbx/config.php | cut -d "'" -f2)"
export PGPASSWORD

echo $(date -u) "conversions started" >> /root/convert.log
