Re: [Bacula-users] Paper on Property Backup Migration to Bacula

Hello,

Mr. Bacula Users,

I wanted to write a paper / guide that outlines the process of migrating backup data written with property software for Bacula. I think those are some premises:

1. I know this will probably involve restore the legacy data to a given mount point in the respective servers and backup it again? Maybe with suffix manipulation?

I think it is the only solution available. It is valid for files data only, no application specyfic backups (excluding dump to the file). With suffix manipulation, I think there is no useable functions inside Bacula (there are some parameters which are available in Restore jobs only), so I had to prepare some not so trivial sql statements.

2. And how about changing today job backup date to the real date of the first backup of the legacy data? Anyone has done queries that could share?

Changing job dates (start,end, etc.) is simple when you bother catalog data only. The other case are dates written to the volumes.

3. Whatever you suggest.

Application specific backups. :)
