To be honest, my mistake was I didn't realize that by "testing purposes"
they meant "a temporary, throwaway system where you delete everything
before moving on to production." By the time I decided Bacula was doing the
job for me and it was time to move to a more robust backend, I had too much
backup data to just start over from scratch. I didn't want to have to tell
someone "I had a backup of that, but I deleted it." Basically I failed to
look two steps ahead to see if there would be a migration path forward.

I haven't yet had an SQLite problem I couldn't fix with the command line
tools, in spite of once running out of disk space on the partition the DB
was on. My biggest complaint about it is if you have backups with millions
of files, operations on them can tie up the director for quite a while.
That's the main reason I'd like to switch to a proper DB server.
