That's definitely the solution I would vote for. There are scripts and documentation available for moving in that direction... the other one is generally less supported and no doubt you'll need to eventually upgrade anyway. Upgrading clients is generally foolproof anyway, incidentally. For CentOS/RHEL machines in particular, I've just installed the new RHEL package and everything's been fine. Basically, the moral of the whole story is that the Director and Storage Daemon need to be running the same version. For me, that's the same host so this is easy to remember, but otherwise one must just keep it in mind. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksT9FQACgkQmb+gadEcsb5TAQCg1I2nFLaLHSyiqYbDDtXXiqEA cRMAn0YbqAap2d7qMc3bSpBOHuHt6BGW =whzT -END PGP SIGNATURE- <>-- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Also I have to tell you that I have not pushed 3.X.X into my work network yet so my testing of this has been limited to 1 director and 2 other clients on my home network.

This would avoid having to do a downgrade, give you the extra features of 3.0 on the director in case you might need them somewhere and you can just upgrade those clients you want/need to. There are several compelling reasons to use v3. One is if you come across a windows server running volume shadow copy, you'll need a 64-bit file daemon to run on it or VSS will crash. The only 64-bit builds of Bacula are v3 and require a v3 director. There are also features like VirtualFull backups which are nice.

Re: [Bacula-users] Possible to downgrade sd/fd from 3.0 to 2.4?
Sorry, Director is running 2.4.4 on CentOS 5.3. Storage Daemon is running 3.0.2 on a different CentOS 5.3 machine. Director and Storage are fine together, but the 2.4.4 director cannot access the 3.0.2 fd (running on the sd machine). This is all with sqlite. Do you think upgrading the director is a better solution over the long-term since the 3.0 director can talk to 2.4 clients? Of note, I am having dependency problems while trying to upgrade director from 2.4 to 3.0. Different issue I guess. I will pose that question in a new thread based on your advice here. Thanks!

[Bacula-users] Possible to downgrade sd/fd from 3.0 to 2.4?
Hi Folks, I hope someone can help. I have been using Bacula for a couple of months now running 2.4 on the director and all client daemons, and 3.0 for the storage daemon (my mistake). This has been working fine. The 3.0 file daemon isn't compatible with the 2.4 director, so I need to downgrade. It seems to be much more trouble to upgrade all the clients and the director, so downgrading the sd seems to be the best option. Does anyone have experience with this? What kind of trouble will I be getting into? Thanks! Paul E.
