Yes, I know that the Bacula Release Notes say "As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time."
Is this because of some shared library versions or something else "single host environment"- related? I'm migrating my old CentOS 5.x-32 system with Bacula 5.0.3, to CentOS 6.2-64, with Bacula 5.2.6. I'm very tempted to have an intermediate step (for just a few days) with the old storage (running in the old hw) and the new director (in the new hw). So both the director and storage would be of 5-generation with different minor numbers, and everything running in any single host, would be of exactly the same version. Any chance this combination might work? Of course, as long as I had that cocktail in use, I wouldn't touch the conf files for no other reason but to edit machine names where necessary. So no attempt to use any new features... if the communication protocols between the daemons haven't changed, I guess there shouln't be anything wrong -unless the daemons explicitly check the version info.
