At this point I would suggest that it doesn't make sense for Bacula to
maintain support for sqlite with the next major release of Bacula.
As you know scripts shipped with Bacula exist to move from sqlite to an
enterprise DB:
bacula-sqlite_2_mysqldump.sh
sqlite2pgsql
With Bacula being as stable and enterprise ready as it is, I don't
think that it makes sense to attempt to support a database that isn't up
to the same level.

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
