First, if Bacula doesn't do much that takes advantage of DB-specific stuff (e.g. foreign key constraints, etc), you may be able to simply recompile (if needed) the director with support for MySQL and do a dump from SQLite into plain SQL and then run that against your MySQL server.
Failing that, you could start a new fresh Director+MySQL set-up, use all the old config scripts, and use "bscan" to scan the old volumes and put their data into the database. (With a lot of tapes, this may take a while... but if you were using SQLite, I'm guessing it was a fairly light set-up to files?) --Darien Hager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
