Bacula versions compatibility

backupbacula

Recently we have upgraded some of our servers to Ubuntu 16.04 and Bacula file daemon has also been upgraded to version 7.0.5.

Now we have:

  • Bacula director v5.2.6 (on Ubuntu 14.04)
  • storage daemons v5.2.6 (on Ubuntu 14.04)
  • some file daemons v5.2.6 (on Ubuntu 14.04)
  • some file daemons v7.0.5 (on Ubuntu 16.04).

Now Bacula gives this error on the machines with Ubuntu 16.04 and Bacula file daemon v7.0.5:

Fatal error: Bad response to Storage command: wanted 2000 OK storage

I didn't find anything about version incompatibility(Newer file daemons with older Director and Storage daemons) here.

Downgrading Bacula fd to v5.2.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 would also be a solution for me if there is a way to do this.

How should I proceed?

The problem was solved after upgrading storage daemons to v7.0.5. We still have some file daemons v5.2.6.
