Hi Birgit,

When I start my old bareos version with the old database, all works fine: i can backup, restore etc., so it seems that all these duplicates do not interfere anywhere.

this indeed looks like a problem with the database itself.
AFAICT this could only happen if there are duplicates in that primary key column - which would indicate a corrupted database.

However, the fileid column isn't really critical unless you use BVFS.

What you could try if you still have the original database is to
pg_dump --schema-only
and
pg_dump --data-only

This way you get seperate dumps for the database structure and the data. When you then restore the schema first, you can drop the primary key before restoring the data.

In the end you will have the same corruption in your restored database that you had in the original one.

I can play around with the sql file, no problem of data loss since I have backuped my installaton. So every suggestion is appreciated.
You can just remove the line adding the primary key. Most of Bareos will work fine without that primary key, even though BVFS and a few other things will not like it.

My question is, how can I clean my database correctly from these duplicates and finally import my dump into the new psql 16?

That's a question for the PostgreSQL mailing list, as your PostgreSQL 12 database should not have these duplicates in the first place.

Hope that helps!

Best Regards,
Andreas
