a. Compile and Install Bacula from scratch with same configure options. b. Copy the Volume Data to new machine. c. Perhaps copy log info from /var/bacula d. Dump Database on old machine, migrate dump to new machine, reinitialize database tables and import database. e. Copy conf files from /etc/bacula from old to new machine. f. Do dns update for Director FQDN g. Test In this case I am assuming the machine name for Director will be the same, the locations of files on Disk will be the same directory names. Is there something obvious I am missing? Should this work?
