Currently we are using Bacula 2.4.4 for our backups. With the upcoming upgrades to RHEL-6 the main backup software will be bacula-5.0.0. I have 'gleaned' that the upgrade from 2.x to 5.x is not simple which means we are going to need to do a project on how this will be done.
I am looking for people who have done project management in the past to help out on this.. mainly it would be to help step through people who may not have large scale project experience on what things usually need to be done: scoping, staffing, dropback points, documentation, etc.

Are there forward/backward compat issues with clients?
ie if we're still on bacula 2.X on the master can be backup a bacula 5.X client?

As far I can tell nothing between 2.x is compatible with 5.x .. just too much has gone on between the two releases. So part of the project is going to be:
1) How much history do we need? How do we keep it? 2) Do we need new hardware? How much will that be?
etc.

FWIW, there is a version of bacula2 compiled for RHEL6 so we can at least do this transition as we need to. fas1 requires backups because of the cert system and it gets them via bacula2-common-2.4.4

Hi My name is Anthony Mogrovejo I've seen projects with bacula, I hope to support in any way possible.

Thank you. I am hoping that we can involve more people in the planning/development/staging parts and even if it comes down to doing the OH CRAP ITS GOT TO BE DONE BY 5 being done by the usual suspects.
