Hi,
I have done some reading on bacula 7 and the 5.2.13 version in centos base. I
have decided to upgrade to centos7 and use the 5.2.13 version and not go to 7
just yet. (sorry for changing my mind L)
The reason for this is that centos7 has the version 5.2.13 in base.
My plan therefore is:
1. Build a centos 7 server and install bacula from base i.e. 5.2.13 and
mariadb
2. Take a mysql dump of the old server’s bacula database. Mysqldump –u
root –p bacula > bacula.sql
3. Copy /etc/bacula directory over to the new server
4. Restore mysql dump onto new server
5. Run /usr/libexec/bacula/update_mysql_tables on the new server
6. Start bacula daemons
On the current server I have volumes under /home/bacula. Shall I also take
these over, for historic restores, should I need them? Or shall I leave them
and can restore from the old version if I need to?
Is this a good plan for migrating to a new server and upgrading from 5.0.0 to
5.2.13?
Thanks all for all your help with this :D

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies. My requirement is to move to a centos 7 OS with
mysql as DB (current is 6). Here is what I’ve found from the instructions
provided by everyone (and for the benefit of someone in the future in my
situation):
Firstly, build a new centos 7 machine and do the following
1. Download 7.0.5 code. From
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/bacula/7.0.5/bacula-7.0.5.tar.gz/download
- does this include bacula-sd, dir and fd?
yes. That includes director, file daemon and storage daemon.
2. Extract.
3. Install deps:
yum install mysql-devel gcc-c++ readline-devel zlib-devel libacl-devel
mtx postfix
4. Configure:
./configure --with-readline=/usr/include/readline --disable-conio
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --with-scriptdir=/usr/libexec/bacula/
--with-working-dir=/var/spool/bacula/ --with-logdir=/var/log
--enable-smartalloc --with-mysql
5. Build:
make -j8 && make install && make install-autostart
6. Run update db script: ( Not sure about this step, please see step 8)
/usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables
7. Copy over the config files under /etc/bacula/ to the new centos 7
box with bacula 7. Will I need to run step 6
(/usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables) here?
You can do the update_bacula_tables in step 6.
8. Restart bacula daemons
I would recommend you do not start the daemons before the database upgrade.
So, here, I should say "start bacula daemons".
Please assist on the questions I have above, or is there a better way I
should be doing this? What about the volumes + files I have on the current
server, how can I take these across as well?
A better way would be to have the Bacula´s upgrade in the same machine, if you
could. This way you would not need to copy the volumes to the other host. The
volumes should be in same directory that they were before (you should
configure and create the same archive device in the new host).
IMHO, this should work fine :).

Hi Wagar,
Is that clear for you? I saw the other posts. So you have two options:
upgrade to 5.2.13 using yum or remove your actual version and build from source
the 7.0.5 version. If you decide to build from source, remember to do a backup
of your conf files (they shouldn´t be replaced, but...). You can upgrade from
5.0.0 to 7.0.5, since you are going to upgrade your database from a version 12
to version 14.
You can find in the manual:
10.2 Upgrading Bacula
10.6 Building Bacula from Source
Regards,
Ana

Hi Ana,
The version I am running is 5 exactly:
Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010)
Selecting database version I get VersionID = 12
5.0.0 is in the base repo but I can’t see 5.2.13 in there. What’s the
best way to get to 5.2.13 first? Where can I get update_bacula_tables from +
documentation :P

Hi!
Which Bacula´s 5 version do you have? I´ve upgraded from 5.2.13 to
7.0.5 with no problems (host XenServer). I´m affraid version 5.0.X has a prior
database version than 5.2.13, so it will be nice to take a look at your actual
database version (you can make a select to list contents from Version table).
If you have an earlier database version then 14, you will need to do an
update_bacula_tables after upgrading software and before starting using Bacula.
Best regards,
Ana

Hi all,
I am currently using version 5 of bacula dir,sd and fd. Is there any
documentation on upgrading to the latest release from this version. Will I have
to first upgrade to 7.0 or can I upgrade directly to 7.0.5. I am also upgrading
the base OS from Centos 6 to Centos 7. Which problems can I expect?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
