Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Upgrade from Debian Lenny to Squeeze (2.4.4 to

Hi!

Couple of months ago i did upgrade my bacula host. I'm using MySQL and i had some problems with database upgrade.
In the beginning of the upgrade process database server was shut down by the upgrade process. Result was that upgrade process was unable to upgrade the bacula database, since the server was down. Upgrade process was also not able to end correctly.
To fix it i had to manually upgrade the database afterwards. Fortunatelly the database update scripts came with the bacula packages(in my case bacula-director-mysql) and were located in /usr/share/dbconfig-common/data/bacula-director-mysql/upgrade/mysql/.
I guess the similar problem can not happen with sqlite since there is no daemon, but with postgrasql it is a possibility.

Hope it helps

Hello,

we are about to upgrade our servers from Debian Lenny to Squeeze which
includes an upgrade from Bacula 2.4.4 to 5.0.2.

We have one Bacula director running with PosgreSQL as database backend
and two with sqlite3.

Had anyone the same combination and did an upgrade? Are there any
issues I must be aware of? Are the databases converted correctly?

Can the Bacula 2.4.4 file daemon talk to the 5.0.2 director? - I know
that the 5.0.2 file daemon can't talk to the 2.4.4 director which is
why I use a forward-ported 2.4.4 file daemon on the already upgraded
machines.

A web search showed up only some bug reports regarding backported
packages but nothing about the regular dist-upgrade Lenny->Squeeze.

Regards,

Henry
