This is an important excerpt from ReleaseNotes that came with bacula version
|
|
5.2.1 which explains updating database from 5.0.x version to 5.2.x. If you
|
|
are upgrading, it would be in your best interest to read and understand the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
|
|
scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
|
|
14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
|
|
detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
|
|
recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
|
|
using rpms.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
|
|
source (i.e. manually):
|
|
1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
|
|
2. Save a copy of your existing database.
|
|
3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
|
|
Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
|
|
at the bottom of this file.
|
|
4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
|
|
5. ./update_bacula_tables
|
|
6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
|
|
script and put the name of another database, and then
|
|
execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
|
|
catalogs have been updated.
|
|
7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
|
|
not print any error messages.
|
|
|
|
If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
|
|
script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
|
|
table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
|
|
(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
|
|
be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
|
|
command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
|
|
catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
|
|
aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
|
|
size.
