Hi all, After upgrading the first BPC-server I used my notes to upgrade another CentOS 5-based BPC-server as well as the final CentOS 7-server. Maybe this can help others avoid some potentially bad situations.
Find it here: <https://www.srbu.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=201:upgrad ing-backuppc-to-v4-2-1&catid=8&Itemid=121&lang=en> A note regarding CentOS 5 (before someone objects to using it!): CentOS 5 had its EOL 2017-03-31, but we still use it in a highly locked down environment with no public access to start with. Since these particular servers run backups from instrument computers collecting raw data in a lab, a migration isn't taken on lightly. We need to save this data for at least ten years. If I figure out how to safely migrate this data to our virtualized CentOS 7-based BPC-server, I'll do that. As well as also documenting it for posterity. :-) -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden # # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, B5:404b # Web: https://www.ilk.uu.se/ ----------------------------------------------------------- # O< ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # http://tinyurl.com/ascii-ribbon-campaign # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # Please consider the environment before printing this email. # Join the campaign at http://thinkBeforePrinting.org # # MotD follows: All dressed up & nowhere to go.
