Bacula – notes on upgrading to 1.38.5

Today I ran a test upgrade of my Bacula installation. I went from 1.36.3 to 1.38.5. After running the database upgrade script, which creates new columns and a few new tables, I noticed that I needed to set some permissions.

grant all on device to group bacula;
grant all on device_deviceid_seq to group bacula;
grant all on mediatype to group bacula;
grant all on mediatype_mediatypeid_seq to group bacula;
grant all on status to group bacula;
grant all on storage to group bacula;
grant all on storage_storageid_seq to group bacula;


After that, all ran fine.

The database upgrade script ran like this (it can take several minutes to run):

[dan@polo:/usr/local/share/bacula] $ sh ./update_postgresql_tables

This script will update a Bacula PostgreSQL database from version 8 to 9
Depending on the size of your database,
this script may take several minutes to run.
