I don't know if that would work since I haven't used the old 9.6x bacula binaries. I do see that the client is only a tiny bit newer than the server. Personally, I suspect that if the server checks versions, it will refuse to work. Maybe try to see if a slightly older version of the client is available with special apt options?
Personally, I would use the latest stable bacula 13.0.4 from the project official repo, or if you want to try the latest, bacula 15.0.2 beta. I would do this at minimum for the server. Maybe for convenience use the system repo on client machines so you don't have to add the repo to all of your backup targets. If you want to do cloud stuff, I think 15.x is the best bet. Please be aware that 13.0.X broke backwards compatibility with older FD/clients, and this was fixed in 13.0.4. Go to link below for access to the official repo. Give your first/last name and email at bottom of page. Should get an email with a custom repo link. If email doesn't come (happens occasionally), check the page that loads after you enter your name and email. Look for "You may now access the bacula binaries located here (please bookmark this link)." The word "here" will be your custom repo link. https://www.bacula.org/bacula-binary-package-download/ An outdated installation guide is here. substitute your suitable os version in the repo link demonstrated in this guide, as seen when you browse your repo link in Firefox, chrome, etc. https://bacula.org/whitepapers/CommunityInstallationGuide.pdf Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Thu, Jul 4, 2024, 12:54 PM Adam Weremczuk <ad...@matrixscience.com> wrote: > I'm considering connecting: > > bacula client 9.6.7-7 Debian:12.6/stable (the latest version for Debian 12) > > to > > bacula server 9.6.7-3 Debian:11.6/oldstable (the latest version for > Debian 11) > > From what I understand, client version should always be <= server > version but perhaps the above would be ok? > > --- > Adam > > > > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users >
