more testing is still needed.
==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to the new installer nothing special
+ For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\Bacula
directory (mostly out of paranoia, we can change that prior to release if
everyone is comfortable with it).
- Prior to using the current installer, if you used a prior 1.39.x
- beta version, you must do one of the following three things:
+ Prior to using the current installer, if you used a version of the beta
+ prior to 1.39.26, you must do one of the following three things:
1) Uninstall prior beta version and select the option to delete
the configuration and state files. This will get rid of the bogus
- configuration files. Reinstall the new 1.39.22 version.
+ configuration files. Reinstall the new 1.39.26 version.
2) Manually copy the *.conf files from C:\Bacula\bin to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula.
After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
- If you have problems with the above, try the following
- The new Win32 installer requires that you deinstall any
- previous 1.39.x beta version before installing the new version.
- The following is not necessary if you are upgrading from
- a 1.38.x installation.
-
- The simplest way to do clean up a prior 1.39.x beta is in a DOS shell:
-
- cd c:\bacula\bin
- net stop bacula
- net stop baculfd
- ./bacula-fd /remove
- (Install the new Bacula)
-
- Note, one or both of the 'net stop' commands may fail. Don't
- worry about it.
-
- If you didn't read the release notes or forgot to do those
- commands, try the following:
-
- cd c:\bacula\bin
- net stop bacula
- net stop baculafd
- sc delete bacula
- sc delete baculafd
-
- Note, at least one of the 'net' commands and possibly both
- will fail, and at least one of the 'sc' commands will fail.
- Don't worry about it. After that, try again to install
- the new Bacula.

-Here are some hints if you want to play with the Windows Director and/or
-Storage daemon.
-
-Changer and Tape device names in Windows are Changer0, Changer1, etc and
-Tape0, Tape1, etc. If there isn't a device driver loaded for the Changer
-then you need to use the address <Port>:<Bus>:<Target>:<Lun>. Port is the
-SCSI Adapter Number, Bus is the Bus Number on the adapter (usually 0 since
-most adapters only have one bus), Target is the device's Target Device ID,
-Lun is the Logical Unit Number.
-
-You must specify DeviceType = tape in the Device resource in bacula-sd.conf
-since detection doesn't currently work.
