Hello Preash Have you install Bacula compiling source code or using packages?
I have some tips to upgrade bacula by compilation of source code. It works to install using packages also. You need to do in mind that the basically, Bacula have conf files and a catalog (database), and volumes. If you have these 3 pillars, you can restore any Bacula environment. ============================================= Tips on how to upgrade Bacula - Stop all bacula daemons and make sure none are running, if necessary execute the command (pkill -9 bacula) - Perform a backup of the Bacula database (run the standard Bacula backup script, usually "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog". Copy the file generated by the script to a secure location. - Make a backup of the Bacula configuration folder (*.conf), usually /etc/bacula or /opt/bacula (make sure do the backup of correct directory) - If your bacula was installed using packages, it is interesting to remove all packages related to Bacula. Use the command: "apt-get remove package_name or yum remove package_name" If the bacula was installed using compilation, it is interesting to use the same options used in the "./configure" - Download the source code, and proceed as if it were a new installation - Copy the configuration files (* .conf) from the backup to /etc/bacula or /opt/bacula - Verify that the paths that were informed in the build are the same as the previous configuration, otherwise, you need to edit the configuration files and change these paths. - Run the script to update the Bacula database (usually update_bacula_tables or update_mysql_tables or update_postgresql_tables) - Run the daemons test commands and make sure they have no configuration errors. bacula-dir -t, bacula-sd -t and bacula-fd-t - Start the bacula and run bconsole - And if all went well, congratulations, your bacula was updated successfully! - In case of errors you must run Bacula in debug mode and check for possible errors. Sometimes it's interesting to run a pkill -9 to stop all bacula daemons, and start each separate daemon with the debug option (-d 500). bacula-dir-d 500, bacula-sd-d 500, bacula-fd-d 500 ============================================= There is a script to install Bacula by packages from Bacula repositories (But this script was tested for fresh installations, I don't know the behavior in installations already existent) http://www.bacula.lat/community/bacula-community-9-x-official-packages-installation-script/?lang=en Or you can compile using this link: http://www.bacula.lat/community/community-bacula-9-0-8-compilation-and-installation-commands/?lang=en I suggest also you upgrade to the latests Bacula version (9.4.4) (only compilation for a while or 9.4.3 by packages) https://www.bacula.org/source-download-center/ Best regards *Wanderlei Hüttel* http://www.bacula.com.br Em qui, 30 de mai de 2019 às 03:23, preash raj <preash....@gmail.com> escreveu: > Hello Guys, > > How do I upgrade Bacula 5.2.13 to 7.2 with Snapshot Management feature? > > ===================== > Bacula: 5.2.13 > OS : CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) > Database : mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.60-MariaDB > ===================== > > Please provide me with a step by step instruction for the upgrade, I > couldn’t find a proper documentation for the bacula upgrade. > > Hope you guys will help :) > > Regards, > Preash > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users >
