Hi Simone,
Thank you for this suggestion. We're going to try your backport repository,
although I have some questions concerning our case:
I forgot to mention that we use webacula frontend to give a web access to
some users, and it adds some tables to the database. Will the upgrade from
your repositories delete those additional tables?
Concerning the upgrade process from 5.0.0 to 7.0.5, should I add both
repositories and enable only the bacula one to make the 5.0 to 5.2 upgrade,
then enable the bacula7 to make the 5.2 to 7.0 upgrade? Or can I just add
the bacula7 repository and do the upgrade without the progressive step from
5.0.x to 5.2.x ?
Regarding the currently installed 5.2, should I uninstall it before
installing from the bacula7 repository to avoid any possible library or
binary conflict? I agree about doing a fresh install in 7.0.5 with the
repository and merge my current config. Would a restore of the previously
saved catalog be also necessary?
Regards,
Jose
