First backup the database before doing anything.

I cannot reply for PostgreSQL, but for SQLite, you simply change the name of 
the database file.  For MySQL, you change the name of the directory that 
holds the database files, and you must also grant access to the users that 
will access the new name.

For both, you must also change the name in the bacula-dir.conf Catalog 
resource entry.

For PostgreSQL, you will need to find a PostgreSQL expert, or simply export 
the database such as Bacula does when it backs it up, create a new one by 
modifying the appropriate scripts and running them, then feeding the export 
file back into PostgreSQL, and then making sure users have access rights to 
the new name.  This would also work with MySQL and SQLite and is a more 
conservative (but slower) way of doing the change.
