Normally I would use /usr/libexec/bacula/update_mysql_tables but I found in this case that it didn't work because it was trying to drop an index from a table that didn't already exist (the index, not the table). I did manage to complete the update by opening up a mysql session and manually running the commands in the update script for upgrades from version 16, which is several incremental upgrades to get to 1022. I ignored the errors relating to commands for dropping indexes that weren't there. Beware that if you have a substantial "File" database that this process will take quite a long time and require a little more free disk space than taken by the existing bacula database, on top of the original database. My backups ran apparently successfully last night on the new version. This morning I tested a restore that pulled in 14,637 files that came from a mix of full and differential backups on the old version and the latest incremental on the latest version. That worked OK.
