We are currently using the community edition 5.2.13 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. We are looking are upgrading to the latest 7 version and upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04LTS. We are not looking at an in-place upgrade, but instead we are looking at wiping the machine and will reconfigure it for RAID-10 (as opposed to RAID-5). Our current backup scenario is to backup to disks and then copy to tapes. The volumes on disk are only for the most recent backups (e.g., last month) so we don't mind them disappearing since we have copies on tape. However, I wanted to run this upgrade scenario by the list to see if there is anything we need to watch out for. Essentially, we plan on doing the following:
1. Convert from RAID-10 to RAID-5 of bacula server. 2. Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 3. Install Bacula (community version 7.XX) 4. Use BSCAN to recreate our Bacula catalog My main concern is if we recreate the catalog from the tapes and the tapes were marked as COPY, will we still be able to restore from them if need be in the future (since the disk volumes that were marked BACKUP are gone)?
