Closes #6 When running psql commands to insert rows in the database, psql normally returns an message about what it did, eg "INSERT 0 1" if it inserted a row. This can be suppressed with -q . Several of the scripts use psql commands to get primary keys from the database, inserting the row if necessary. This can lead to the host id variable in the script being set to 'INSERT 0 1 <thehostid>' which causes problems when this variable is used in other SQL commands. This always used to work; I suspect the thing that changed is our upgrading to Postgres 16 on the backup servers, but I'm struggling to see how as Postgres 13 seems to behave the same for me.

For machines like nest-backup and cerebro-backup we have lots of backup tasks for the same host spread across several zpools, so move-machine-to-zpool.sh can't be used to migrate the contents of a failing zpool/disk. This adds a script to move an individual ZFS which is the target of a backup task to another zpool. It assumes all necessary parent ZFSes already exist on the target. If they don't it fails. It does not yet clean up the old ZFS as it's not had a lot of use.
