On the other side, some packages (like for Debian, AFAIK) may be built by OS packagers and not by Bacula developers at all, and in that case you'd better to search for information in OS-spesific forums too. -- TiN -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

You might want to check the release notes, especially the bit about the catalog format changes: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=50727&release_id=679402 Other than SQL schema changes, there's rarely something you have to modify, but watch out and double check your config files anyway, and of course monitor Bacula more closely after the upgrade.

First get a good catalog backup. Also make sure that you have a backup of the /etc/bacula as well. tar -czf /etc/bacula.tgz /etc/bacula just to have that easy to get to. http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Installing_Bacula.html#SECTION0032 Most all syntax of the config files will migrate. So that should not be a problem. There is usually just the update to the db schema.
