What you call a server in Bacula has no relation to what you call 
that server outside Bacula.  Therefore I'm not quite sure what you 
mean by 'renamed a server'.  Did the hostname change?  If so, Bacula 
doesn't care...

Perhaps if you paste the Client resource (change sensitive data) and 
show us what you changed, we'll be able to help more.

I would update the catalog to reflect the new client id.

Currently, this can be done by accessing the catlog directly.

You will need to change the ClientIds in the Job table from the old id 
to the new id *at least*. I haven't investigated but it might be 
possible that there are columns in other tables to be changed, too.

I renamed a machine once by only changing the machine name in the 
Client table while the DIR was not running, changed the client 
resource, and restarted the DIR. I believe that worked...

 
 This capability be particularly important in the future as
 machines with multiple-TB of storage are renamed or re-IP'ed.

Probably true.
