May I suggest using my backport repository?

Those are the very same packages that I maintain for Fedora 19/20 and RHEL
7 (5.2.13) and Fedora 21+ (7.0.5). You can upgrade 5.0.0 packages directly
(it will keep the catalog database selection automatically) and you can
even do the progressive step from 5.0.x to 5.2.x.
The source built installations need simply some adjustments to paths in
configuration files. My suggestion is to make a tar/backup of your current
Bacula binaries installation, install the packages and then merge your
configuration files in. Again there should be very little adjustment to be
made.
Among the benefits of using packages, for example; there's common and equal
installation across your operating system and files are already labeled amd
in proper place for SELinux contexts.
