Hello all,

please find attached a small news item proposal for the
upgrade of app-backup/bacula. Each one who has the previous version
installed has to convert its database to the new format. So target
audience are all who have <app-backup/bacula-5.2.0 installed.

As it is my first news item please have a thorough look at it and give
feedback.

Regards,

	Thomas

Title: Bacula-5.2.3 Upgrade
Author: Thomas Beierlein <tomjbe@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2011-12-30
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: "<app-backup/bacula-5.2.0"

The 5.2.x release series of Bacula uses a new database catalog format.
If you're upgrading from a 3.x.x or 5.0.x release, you must upgrade your
bacula catalog database.  

Please read the manual chapter for how to upgrade your database.  You
can find database upgrade scripts in /usr/libexec/bacula/updatedb/.

It is strongly recommended that you save a copy of your existing
database before upgrading.

The simplest way to upgrade the database:

1. Stop Bacula from running (at least director and storage daemon).
2. Save a copy of your existing database.
3. Emerge new version of Bacula.
4. Run the appropriate upgrade script from /usr/libexec/bacula/updatedb/. 
7. Start the new Bacula.
