Hi list, I've a bacula system based on disk volume that I need to refresh (new install). There is a way to mantain the "current status" (volumes, catalog and other if needed) when migrating the system to a new installation?
Thanks in advance
Hi Alessandro,
Just backup your database and you'll be fine. If there's a need you cal always 'bscan' your old volumes.

Hi Fabio, thanks for your reply. (I'm new with bacula). To make things more clear: 1) Reinstall CentOS and software; 2) Configure database and import catalog 3) Copy last valid configuration for dir, sd,fd and console. 4) Re-attach my disk backup device with last volumes
That's all?
Another question is about Catalog backup. When I need to restore a backup, bacula reads catalog and performs restore if possibile. When a backup is perfomed, all info are saved on catalog. From many how-to I found that people make ct backup directly from bacula client and not from script (pg_dump...). Then today I follow this method because seems to be the most valid. Why? What method is better? Can I restore a catalog backup without bacula installed? Can I restore a catalog backup with bacula installed but without a valid catalog imported?
I hope I was clear.
Thanks in advance.

Why? This isn't Windows, so why reinstall CentOS, or are you building a new system, or migrating one from 6 to 7?

Ah! So it's install CentOS, not reinstall.
