I am in the process of migrating my old LTO4 based library to a new
LTO6 based one. Currently I am running version 5.2.12 with the old
library and the new one is running version 7.0.5.
Just migrated from a LTO4 to a LTO6 cassette changer (HP 1/8 G2
Autoloader) with newer PC hardware, a newer Linux OS including MySql DB
and the latest Bacula version with Bat built from the scratch.
On a test I was surprisingly able to run old and new backup process on
the server clients simultaneously only by adding a second "Director" for
the new backup-system to the bacula-fd.conf.
My idea would be to save the bacula-dir.conf and the latest dump of the
old database for switching back to the elder state on the new system
temporarily if there would ever be the need.

Thanks Ralf. How many drives do you have in your new tape library? Can you share your bacula-fd.conf file?
