Bacula Enterprise Upgrade on Linux

The following chapter aims at explaining how to upgrade Bacula Enterprise on Linux.

A major Bacula upgrade involves changing the first or second digit, such as going from 16.0.10 to 16.2.3 or from 16.0.10 to 18.0.3.

On the other hand, a minor Bacula upgrade only involves changing the last digit, for example, from 16.0.10 to 16.0.11.

If you upgrade only the Client or File Daemon (FD), follow Bacula Enterprise Upgrade Procedure for any version

If you upgrade the Director and the Storage Daemon:

• Major upgrade case

  Follow the document: Migration to New Major Version of Bacula.

• Minor upgrade case

  Follow the document: Bacula Enterprise Upgrade Procedure.

Important

• The upgrade of the Director and the Storage Daemon should happen at the same time as both must run the same version.

• The FD running on the same system than the Director and the Storage Daemon will also be upgraded at the same time.

• The plugins running on the same system than the Director and the Storage Daemon or the Client must also be upgraded at the same time.
