The difference is only in the Debian part of the version number; both are 9.6.7 so if the server checked versions they would match. I once got away with a slight patch-level skew between Director and SD (I think it was 7.4.3 and 7.4.4). It all depends on the details of the intervening changes; look at the diffs.

Looking at the Debian changelog from 9.6.7-3 to 9.6.7-7 I get the impression that it's all routine packaging changes, mainly driven by differences between Debian 11 and Debian 12. > Personally, I would use the latest stable bacula 13.0.4 from the project > official repo, I generally prefer Debian-maintained packages as the packaging tends to be of higher quality. 13.0.4 is now available in trixie (future Debian 13) and noble (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) and I backported it to Debian 12 without difficulty; I haven't put it in production yet but it's been working fine in my test lab. _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
