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. Dirk Is there an unofficial guide as to how to upgrade from version 2 to version 3 of bacula ?

You might want to check the release notes, especially the bit about the catalog format changes: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=50727release_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.

I am a newbie in bacula , I've inherited it from another admin . I saw the our version is an old version and i wanted to upgrade to the latest version , i looked at the bacula documentation to see if there is an upgrade procedure and couldn't find any . Is there an unofficial guide as to how to upgrade from version 2 to version 3 of bacula ? I may not be able to help much, but to get any more detailed advice, find out and provide this information: - on what OS your current Bacula server runs - more precisely, what version it is, like 2.0.x or 2.4.x - find out how it was installed: using some OS-spesific package manager (like rpm in Red Hat based systems), or was it possibly compiled on-site from a tarball - some gurus might want to know what database (like MySQL) is used If this is an install from eg. rpm-packages provided by Bacula developers, the upgrade could be very straightforward and automatic process. 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
