RFC: Backup upgrade
 

Currently we are using Bacula 2.4.4 for our backups. With the upcoming
upgrades to RHEL-6 the main backup software will be bacula-5.0.0. I
have 'gleaned' that the upgrade from 2.x to 5.x is not simple which
means we are going to need to do a project on how this will be done.

I am looking for people who have done project management in the past
to help out on this.. mainly it would be to help step through people
who may not have large scale project experience on what things usually
need to be done: scoping, staffing, dropback points, documentation,
etc.

Are there forward/backward compat issues with clients?

ie if we're still on bacula 2.X on the master can be backup a bacula 5.X
client?

As far I can tell nothing between 2.x is compatible with 5.x .. just
too much has gone on between the two releases. So part of the project
is going to be:

1) How much history do we need? How do we keep it?
2) Do we need new hardware? How much will that be?

etc.

Thank you. I am hoping that we can involve more people in the
planning/development/staging parts and even if it comes down to doing
the OH CRAP ITS GOT TO BE DONE BY 5 being done by the usual suspects.

FWIW, there is a version of bacula2 compiled for RHEL6 so we can at least
do this transition as we need to. fas1 requires backups because of the
cert system and it gets them via bacula2-common-2.4.4
