MYSQL transfer will probably be fine with mysqldump and mysql import. However, you should keep volumes (filenames in the case of FILE backup, or the tapes themselves) "bound" to their ORIGINAL SD definitions as migration among SDs is not supported yet (not a feature), and volumes are internally connected to pools, which MAY or MAY NOT be connected to particular storage devices. > With the director moving off of the original sun machine, I'm going to rename > the sd and fd on that machine.

The names bacula-sd and bacula-fd are internal to bacula and not connected to the server IP, thus do not NEED to be changed. Past backups may get confused regarding storage and pools associations. Or maybe I'm confused about the implication, but in any case it doesn't sound good. > > Anything else? > Have a nice day !
