You can do the update_bacula_tables in step 6.

I would recommend you do not start the daemons before the database
upgrade. So, here, I should say "start bacula daemons".

A better way would be to have the Bacula´s upgrade in the same machine, if
you could. This way you would not need to copy the volumes to the other
host. The volumes should be in same directory that they were before (you
should configure and create the same archive device in the new host).
IMHO, this should work fine :).
