Hi,

 

Thanks all for the replies. My requirement is to move to a centos 7 OS with 
mysql as DB (current is 6). Here is what I’ve found from the instructions 
provided by everyone (and for the benefit of someone in the future in my 
situation):

 

Firstly, build a new centos 7 machine and do the following

 

1. Download 7.0.5 code. From 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/bacula/7.0.5/bacula-7.0.5.tar.gz/download
 - does this include bacula-sd, dir and fd?

 

2. Extract.

 

3. Install deps:

 

yum install mysql-devel gcc-c++ readline-devel zlib-devel libacl-devel mtx 
postfix

 

4. Configure:

 

./configure --with-readline=/usr/include/readline --disable-conio 
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --with-scriptdir=/usr/libexec/bacula/ 
--with-working-dir=/var/spool/bacula/ --with-logdir=/var/log 
--enable-smartalloc --with-mysql

 

5. Build:

 

make -j8 && make install && make install-autostart

 

6. Run update db script: ( Not sure about this step, please see step 8)

 

/usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables

 

 

7. Copy over the config files under /etc/bacula/ to the new centos 7 box with 
bacula 7. Will I need to run step 6 (/usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables) 
here?

 

8. Restart bacula daemons

 

Please assist on the questions I have above, or is there a better way I should 
be doing this? What about the volumes + files I have on the current server, how 
can I take these across as well?

Hi Wagar,

 

Is that clear for you? I saw the other posts. So you have two options: upgrade 
to 5.2.13 using yum or remove your actual version and build from source the 
7.0.5 version. If you decide to build from source, remember to do a backup of 
your conf files (they shouldn´t be replaced, but...). You can upgrade from 
5.0.0 to 7.0.5, since you are going to upgrade your database from a version 12 
to version 14.

 

You can find in the manual:

 

10.2 Upgrading Bacula

10.6 Building Bacula from Source

 

Regards,

Ana

Hi Ana,

 

The version I am running is 5 exactly:

 

Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010)

 

Selecting database version I get VersionID = 12

 

5.0.0 is in the base repo but I can’t see 5.2.13 in there. What’s the best way 
to get to 5.2.13 first? Where can I get update_bacula_tables from + 
documentation :P

Hi!

 

Which Bacula´s 5 version do you have? I´ve upgraded from 5.2.13 to 7.0.5 with 
no problems (host XenServer). I´m affraid version 5.0.X has a prior database 
version than 5.2.13, so it will be nice to take a look at your actual database 
version (you can make a select to list contents from Version table). If you 
have an earlier database version then 14, you will need to do an 
update_bacula_tables after upgrading software and before starting using Bacula.

 

Best regards,

Ana

Hi all,

 

I am currently using version 5 of bacula dir,sd and fd. Is there any 
documentation on upgrading to the latest release from this version. Will I have 
to first upgrade to 7.0 or can I upgrade directly to 7.0.5. I am also upgrading 
the base OS from Centos 6 to Centos 7. Which problems can I expect?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
