Hi Martin, and Olivier,
Thank you for answering my questions! My first thought was to try an inline
install of 9, changing the directories and port #'s as you had noted. However,
after the input provided by you guys, I think the best path for my upgrade is
the port everything over to Bacula 9.
Thanks, again for providing some direction for this upgrade.
Ted

It is probably better to port everything on that machine to Bacula 9. You can
continue to use Bacula 7 on any other client machines.
OTOH, if you change the port numbers and directories in the configs and use a
separate catalog database then you can run multiple independent versions of
Bacula on the same machine. As Olivier mentioned, you have to be careful
about which versions talk to each other though.
