Re: [Bacula-users] Advice upgrading bacula 5.0 -> 5.2

Hello,

2014-02-18 13:00 GMT+01:00 Márcio Merlone <marcio.merlone AT a1.ind DOT br>:

Greetings,

I have this Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server running bacula 5.0 over PostgreSQL 8.4. This server has already been upgraded from an old 3.x install, have gone trough a mysql->postgresql migration, and now is time to move ahead again. :) It may be running for almost a decade now!

I'd like to describe planned steps and have tips, considerations and advices for this process. I'm mainly worried about:

Database upgrade from version 12 -> 14;

Bacula director config changes.

I have the daily bacula.sql from the catalog backup job ("select VersionId from Version" gives 12) and a new 12.04 LTS server with bacula 5.2 and PostgreSQL 9.1 on its repos. In short detail, the planned steps are:

Install PostgreSQL server

Fix some utf-8 invalid chars: iconv -c -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 -o /tmp/bacula_new.sql /tmp/bacula.sql

Why do you need this?

Bacula (AFAIK) does not use UTF-8 as a database character coding.

best regards
