[Bacula-users] Upgrading bacula from version 5 to version 7
Hi all, I am currently using version 5 of bacula dir,sd and fd. Is there any documentation on upgrading to the latest release from this version. Will I have to first upgrade to 7.0 or can I upgrade directly to 7.0.5. I am also upgrading the base OS from Centos 6 to Centos 7. Which problems can I expect? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Which Bacula´s 5 version do you have? I´ve upgraded from 5.2.13 to 7.0.5 with no problems (host XenServer). I´m affraid version 5.0.X has a prior database version than 5.2.13, so it will be nice to take a look at your actual database version (you can make a select to list contents from Version table). If you have an earlier database version then 14, you will need to do an update_bacula_tables after upgrading software and before starting using Bacula.

I actually copied the password from the config file, and pasted it into
the command prompt for the password when connecting to mysql.
Your config file seems ok to me except that you have omitted the
first line of the config file which probably looks like Director {
If you are sure that you can manually connect to the mysql using
the same connection data and the same environment (e.g. the same user
used for running bacula-dir daemon) and you are sure that there is
no some kind of restriction or security in place (e.g. selinux)
than in my opinion it could only be setup of the bacula database
in the mysql.
Have you performed a major bacula upgrade recently or some kind
of database restore?
You have mentioned the unfortunate incident.
If you had to recreate the bacula database make sure that you
(or your puppet configuration) perform commands used for
creation of the bacula database and setting appropriate
privileges.
That would be:
create_mysql_database
make_mysql_tables
grant_mysql_privileges

Hi Wagar, On Fri, Mar 27, 2015 at 2:30 PM, Waqar Khan waqar.k...@hornbill.com wrote: Hi, I have done some reading on bacula 7 and the 5.2.13 version in centos base. I have decided to upgrade to centos7 and use the 5.2.13 version and not go to 7 just yet. (sorry for changing my mind L) Don´t worry :). It is your choice. When you could, think of upgrading to 7.0.5. There are lots of improvements. The reason for this is that centos7 has the version 5.2.13 in base. My plan therefore is: 1. Build a centos 7 server and install bacula from base i.e. 5.2.13 and mariadb 2. Take a mysql dump of the old server’s bacula database. Mysqldump –u root –p bacula bacula.sql 3. Copy /etc/bacula directory over to the new server Please, do not copy the whole directory. You will just need to copy your bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf, bconsole.conf and other customized confs that you could have. 4. Restore mysql dump onto new server 5. Run /usr/libexec/bacula/update_mysql_tables on the new server 6. Start bacula daemons On the current server I have volumes under /home/bacula. Shall I also take these over, for historic restores, should I need them? Or shall I leave them and can restore from the old version if I need to? You can move theses volumes to the new server and have all your backups in just one server. It is your choice. Also you can keep the old one and have the new one with new volumes, new director name, etc. This way you can also delete your old volumes from the new catalog (and just have clients, storage, etc. from the old one). Since you are going to have your old server running until the new one works fine, you can do tests with this new environment and when you assure this new environment, then you could set this new server as your only Bacula server. I would prefer having just one server with all my backups there. Is this a good plan for migrating to a new server and upgrading from 5.0.0 to 5.2.13? If you are going to install a new server there is no need to install 5.0.0 version. You can install the 5.2.13 and restore your config files and catalog to this new server. Thanks all for all your help with this :D You´re welcome. *Regards* *WaqarK* *PGP: D1388321* *From:* Ana Emília M.

You can do the update_bacula_tables in step 6. 8. Restart bacula daemons I would recommend you do not start the daemons before the database upgrade. So, here, I should say start bacula daemons. Please assist on the questions I have above, or is there a better way I should be doing this? What about the volumes + files I have on the current server, how can I take these across as well? A better way would be to have the Bacula´s upgrade in the same machine, if you could. This way you would not need to copy the volumes to the other host. The volumes should be in same directory that they were before (you should configure and create the same archive device in the new host).

Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrading bacula from version 5 to version 7
Hi Wagar, Is that clear for you? I saw the other posts. So you have two options: upgrade to 5.2.13 using yum or remove your actual version and build from source the 7.0.5 version. If you decide to build from source, remember to do a backup of your conf files (they shouldn´t be replaced, but...). You can upgrade from 5.0.0 to 7.0.5, since you are going to upgrade your database from a version 12 to version 14.

Copy over the config files under /etc/bacula/ to the new centos 7 box with bacula 7. Will I need to run step 6 ( /usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables) here? You can do the update_bacula_tables in step 6. 8. Restart bacula daemons I would recommend you do not start the daemons before the database upgrade. So, here, I should say start bacula daemons. Please assist on the questions I have above, or is there a better way I should be doing this? What about the volumes + files I have on the current server, how can I take these across as well? A better way would be to have the Bacula´s upgrade in the same machine, if you could. This way you would not need to copy the volumes to the other host. The volumes should be in same directory that they were before (you should configure and create the same archive device in the new host). IMHO, this should work fine :). *Regards* *WaqarK* *PGP: D1388321* *From:* Ana Emília M.

Where can I get update_bacula_tables from + documentation :P I'm the Bacula Fedora maintainer, and the packages go directly from Fedora to RHEL from time to time. There are two repositories with backports for all supported CentOS/RHEL/Fedora distributions. One is for 5.2.13 and one is for 7.0.x: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula7/ http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/ Both will allow you to upgrade from CentOS/RHEL provided Bacula 5.0.0 packages, keeping the database selection. Please read the appropriate READMEs. My suggestion is to add the repository now, before upgrading and upgrading the tables. This will make sure nothing else has changed. Then, upgrade the distribution, and the packages will simply update themselves. Regards, --Simone -- You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore (R. W.

Hi, Thanks all for the replies. My requirement is to move to a centos 7 OS with mysql as DB (current is 6).

Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrading bacula from version 5 to version 7
Hi Ana, I’ve now come to these steps after your suggestions: 1. Build a centos 7 server and install bacula from base i.e. 5.2.13 and mariadb 2. Stop all bacula services on old server 3. Take a mysql dump of the old server’s bacula database. Mysqldump –u root –p bacula bacula.sql 4. Copy bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf, bconsole.conf over to the new server + my custom config files under bacula-dir.d/ and bacula-sd.d 5. Restore mysql dump onto new server – create database bacula, mysql –u root –p bacula.sql 6. Run /usr/libexec/bacula/update_mysql_tables on the new server (this I checked upgrades the mysql db tables to version 14 J) 7. Start bacula daemons on new server and test by restoring etc. Anything I missed? From: Ana Emília M.
