Hello,
We are pleased to announce the first BETA release of the next major Bacula
version 11.3.2 to both the Bacula website (www.bacula.org) and to SourceForge.
https://www.bacula.org/downloads/Beta-Bacula-11.3.2
This is a beta version of the new 13.0 major release with many new features and
a number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully before
putting it into production. Although the new features have been tested, they
have not run in a production environment.
Compatibility:
--------------
As always, both the 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.
Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 11.3 Director and Storage
daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
New Catalog format in version 11.3.0 and greater
------------------------------------------------
This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of scripts
that permit conversion from 9.x and earlier versions to the new 11.3 format
(1025). Normally the conversion/upgrade is fast.
Keep in mind that there is a big change from 9.x to 11.0 that takes longer than
usual, the upgrade process will require about twice the disk space of the
actual database.
If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will be
found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure command.
As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your catalog
database, be sure to shutdown Bacula and be aware that running the script can
take some time depending on your database size.
Thanks for using Bacula!
Best Regards,
Eric
