Hi all,
I wanted to follow up and share my experience with this subject, and ask for any input about problems I can expect. I seem to have gotten my 2.4.4 director and catalog upgraded to 3.0.2 by doing the following: * Installed Bacula 3.0.2 on CentOS 5.4; * Created the empty sqlite DB; * Copied bacula.db from production machine (fedora 11) to new machine; * Ran "update_bacula_tables" on the copied DB; * Test to make sure director will start; * Copied appropriate .conf files (after backing up default ones); * Modified paths in .conf files as needed; * Disable production director and shut down server; * Gave new machine the IP of the production machine; * Restart director; * Use bconsole to verify that the catalog is complete; * Run a job; Anything I am overlooking? Thanks! _____ From: Paul Binkley [mailto:paul.bink...@ois.com] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 11:49 AM To: 'bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Hi list, I have been using Bacula 2.4.4 in production for several months now, so I have a robust set of backup volumes. I now have a new machine (CentOS 5.4) up and running with Bacula 3.0.2 installed. Besides fixing up the conf files, how do I make the new installation work with the existing data? I don't want to lose access to the 5TB of backed up data. Is there a way to upgrade the existing database and plug it in to the new installation while retaining all the important information that Bacula needs to continue using/recycling volumes or accessing existing volumes for restore? Thanks much!
