Hi all,

We are using Bacula 9.4 on Centos.

Is that possible?

Hello Yateen,

Yes, it is quite possible, and very simple to do.

In your bacula-dir.conf configuration look for a resource called `Catalog`

Here you set the host, port, user, and password to connect to the catalog 
database server.

Just set these parameters to the correct ones for your new DB server, and on that DB server, make sure that the Director 
server is allowed to connect to the DB's port (ie firewall on db server), and also make sure to create the remote db user and 
grant it necessary permissions in the database.


Basic Steps:

- Stop Director
- Dump bacula database
- Stop the database server on the Director, and disable it from starting
- Import database dump into new DB host
- Create remote user in new db server
- Grant this user full permission on bacula db
- Create any needed firewall rules to allow director server to connect to DB
- Edit bacula-dir.conf file on Director and specify correct DB settings in 
Catalog resource
- Test from the command line with `psql cliednt toolto make sure connectivity to the bacula db on remote server is OK, 
correct any issues before moving on

- When all is OK from the command line on the Director, then start the Director 
and test.


Hope this helps!


Best regards,
Bill

[Bacula-users] Separation of bacula-dir and Catalog service

[Yateen Shaligram Bhagat (Nokia)]

Hi all,

We are using Bacula 9.4 on Centos.

At the moment the bacula-dir and the catalog service (PgSQL server) are 
co-located  on one single host.

For optimization reasons, we need to move the PgSQL server to another server 
(FreeBSD based).

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrading from 11.0 to 13.0

Hello,

Actually, I have the same question.

Is there any documentation about supported versions ?

Also, why not building recent platform packages for 11.0.x ?

Best regards

Davide

Where can I find documentation on how to upgrade (server, clients, and
Baculum) from version 11.0 to 13.0 ???  We do everything via your binary
packages.  Our server and Baculum run on el8.  Our clients are el8, el9,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Also, how much longer will 13.0 be supported before a major upgrade is
required?
