You mean using a installation with a current OS as a "ssh / bareos-fd proxy" for this? like this:

OLD SERVER -> RSYNC cronjob -> bareos-fd proxy -> bareos-dir

yes, one way to implement it


Is it known, if Bareos 16 clients can connect to Bareos 22 clients? I am sure that you don't recommend any of this.

While default support doesn't cover this, there's been reports on the ml Bareos 15 fd connects to current dir
(and we didn't intentionally break any compatibility).


Thanks again!

nice we!

    Hi Stefan,

    Hi!

    We are using Bareos 18.2 for a few older/legacy physical hosts
    and VMs. Some clients use Bareos 16/17, some clients use CentOS 5
    or even 4. We did not keep track of any news regarding paywalling
    the repositories. We honestly did not expect this to happen.

    Not the only channel for communication:

    I tried upgrading the Bareos server (18.2) to the most recent
    version 22, but it turns out, since version 21 or so only
    PostgreSQL is supported as catalog driver, so we’d need version
    20 or so to convert the database (which I don’t get either).

    We are thinking about switching to the paid version of Bareos,
    but we’d have to be very sure, that this all works out.
    Drop me a line via PM.


    Does Bareos 22 (client) work with CentOS 4 or 5?
    Can Bareos 16/17 connect to Bareos 22 server?
    There's probably a good reason for running OSes which went EOL way
    before Bareos was founded. From security perspective it might be a
    consideration to ssh payload into current OSes with currently
    maintened Bareos components.


    I’d be very happy to read suggestions!
    Thank you!

    best,
    Frank



    Best regards
    Stefan Pinter
