Ken,

No worries.

I don't have them in front of me, but I'd bet the release notes for bacula
13.x (whatever your version will be, prob 13.0.3) will have info on any
needed upgrade steps. I suspect it'll handle the database transparently
based on my limited recollection from when I browsed said notes earlier
this week. Find the relevant release notes on the bacula website.

Regarding the concatenate note, I suspect they mean to make sure the text
in brackets is all on one line with the URL.
