There are several database upgrades since 2.0.2. You need to run the
bacula upgrade scripts. Also I would upgrade your mysql. 5.0.27 is as
at least as ancient as bacula-2.0.2. My distro has mysql-5.0.90 as the
latest 5.0 release but there are also 5.1 to 5.4 releases and 5.5
betas..

You will probably have to update your director configs as well some
options have changed in the last 2.5 years.

Yes
