Hi Frank!
Thank you for taking the time to answer me! Not the only channel for communication: https://www.bareos.com/bareos-release-policy/ I am not sure what you mean, but yes, I've read this already. https://www.bareos.com/end-of-life-mysql/ I've seen this, yes. But I don't have bareos-dbcopy on the Bareos 18.2 installation - and also not on a fresh 22 installation (from what I understand it doesn't support MySQL at all, so no bareos-dbcopy there as well) Drop me a line via PM. Thank you for the offer, I will at some point! There's probably a good reason for running OSes which went EOL way before Bareos was founded. You know there isn't ;) From security perspective it might be a consideration to ssh payload into current OSes with currently maintened Bareos components. You mean using a installation with a current OS as a "ssh / bareos-fd proxy" for this? like this: OLD SERVER -> RSYNC cronjob -> bareos-fd proxy -> bareos-dir Is it known, if Bareos 16 clients can connect to Bareos 22 clients? I am sure that you don't recommend any of this. Thanks again! Frank Kohler schrieb am Freitag, 13. Oktober 2023 um 09:17:23 UTC+2: Hi Stefan, On 10/13/23 08:53, agenttank wrote: Hi! We are using Bareos 18.2 for a few older/legacy physical hosts and VMs. Some clients use Bareos 16/17, some clients use CentOS 5 or even 4. We did not keep track of any news regarding paywalling the repositories. We honestly did not expect this to happen. Not the only channel for communication: https://www.bareos.com/bareos-release-policy/ I tried upgrading the Bareos server (18.2) to the most recent version 22, but it turns out, since version 21 or so only PostgreSQL is supported as catalog driver, so we’d need version 20 or so to convert the database (which I don’t get either). https://www.bareos.com/end-of-life-mysql/ We are thinking about switching to the paid version of Bareos, but we’d have to be very sure, that this all works out. Drop me a line via PM. Does Bareos 22 (client) work with CentOS 4 or 5? Can Bareos 16/17 connect to Bareos 22 server? There's probably a good reason for running OSes which went EOL way before Bareos was founded. From security perspective it might be a consideration to ssh payload into current OSes with currently maintened Bareos components. I’d be very happy to read suggestions!
