Re: [Bacula-users] Issue restoring from multiple tapes

[Andrew Ryder]

Try pulling down the latest git version of bacula 9.0.x .. I pulled it
down and so far it politely asked for the next tape and patiently waited
for it to be loaded.

Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrading to Bacula 9.0.4

[ted]

Hey All,


Thank you, for taking the time to add to the things to take note of when 
proceeding with and upgrade like this... It has been quite some time since this 
Bacula system was upgraded from 5 to 7, and I for sure needed some refreshers 
on what to consider and plan for.. Of course the backup of the backup system 
will be part of the game plan 


Thanks, Ted

Hello,

Yes, all the existing scripts connect to the DB named "bacula".  It is easily 
changed, for example, the regression scripts all put everything into the DB 
named "regress".  Typically you either manually edit the scripts (as I usually 
do) and change the db_name bacula to something else.  Or you can set the 
environment variable db_name, but you must be sure to "export" it.

Best regards,

Kern

It is probably better to port everything on that machine to Bacula 9.  You can
continue to use Bacula 7 on any other client machines.

OTOH, if you change the port numbers and directories in the configs and use a
separate catalog database then you can run multiple independent versions of
Bacula on the same machine.  As Olivier mentioned, you have to be careful
about which versions talk to each other though.

FWIW, for anyone wanting to go the route of a side-by-side install of
different versions on different ports / config files, etc.:

Be careful with the DB creation / upgrade / backup scripts, as they will
default to a particular file / db name / db instance. You don't want to

Hi,

An extract of Release 9.0.0,

"Compatibility:
–
As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be 
upgraded

at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
or Storage daemon must be of the same version."

Hi all,


I have a quick question about a Bacula upgrade to Bacula 9.0.4. I have 
a Bacula director, and a number of storage units at 7.0.4 running on a 
BSD server with postgres for the Bacula database. My question is can 
Bacula 9 be run inline with the Bacula 7 version? Or is the best 
solution to just configure another server for the Bacula 9 
installation and port over the client configs and databases? Any input 
to this upgrade path would be greatly appreciated.



  Thanks, Ted
