I believe your 2.4 bacula-fd clients will not be able to connect to the 5.x director. You'll get an error that will not tell you exactly that the problem is 'version skew' but that's the issue. I believe 3.0.3 fd clients will be able to work with the 5.0 director and sd. The added wrinkle to this is that the 5.x bacula-fd client will not properly connect to the 3.x director/sd, so you'll have to plan your upgrade carefully or just understand that you'll have to go back and update the clients that are failing before you'll get any more backups of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
