I am a long time user of Bacula (Fedora 9) but I must admit that I do not keep 
up with versions. (I'm still running the F9 Bacula 5.2 director).

What real world benefits would I get from upgrading to the current Bacula 
version?  What problems woudl I have? What are the arguments for/against 
Bareos?

My storage servers range from F9 to C7 and all work fine. 
I'm still using the old WinBacula clients even with the new Win10 boxes.
