Bacula-sd and Bacula-dir must be the same version. Always. Bacula-fd version can be =< bacula-sd/dir, but never greater.
Can you upgrade the old SD to 13.0.4? This would enable you to use the old SD with the new director, so restore from the old SD would still be possible. This is probably the easiest way to access data from both old and new SD. I believe that you can use multiple SD with a single director, though I have not done this so cannot tell you how to do it. As a side topic: If both old and new SDs and dir are the same version, you can move the old backup data from the old SD storage to the new SD storage, and resume managing the volumes from there. The "correct" way to transfer backup data from one SD to another is to use a migrate job. I believe the bacula-dir.conf would need to refer to the old and new storage resources by different names. Probably you would need new storage resources and pools for the new SD, and leave old storage resources and pools for the old SD. I believe you DO NOT WANT a pool to span across two SDs. So one pool, one SD. You could, in theory, copy the volumes over from the old storage to the new storage. Maybe this would work if everything else about the new SD / dir are the same as they were on the old system. You would have to experiment with this. Upgrading the old SD is the best and safest move. If you want the data to be accessible even after decomissioning the old storage, you can migrate that old data to the new SD using migrate jobs. Worst case, you can copy the old volumes to the new system, and use some combination of bls/bscan/bextract to restore the data, either adding the old volume data to the catalog using bscan, or simply performing a manual restore using bls/bextract.
