Other combinations like Bacula director (dir) with Bareos storage daemon (sd) will not work. However this wasn't even possible with different versions of bacula-dir and bacula-sd.

\subsection{Upgrade from Bacula 5.2 to Bareos}

\label{upgrade-from-bacula-to-bareos}

Upgrade is supported from Bacula version 5.2.x. If you are running any older version of Bacula, please update to 5.2 first (see Bacula documentation). \textbf{Note:} Updating from the latest Bacula 7.0 to Bareos has not been tested.
Upgrade is supported from Bacula version 5.2.x. If you are running any older version of Bacula, please update to 5.2 first (see Bacula documentation).

\warning{Updating from Bacula $\geq$ 7.0 to Bareos has not been tested.}

\warning{As Bareos and Bacula packages bring binaries with identical paths and names,
it is on most platforms not possible to install components from both in parallel.
Your package management tool will warn you about this.}



\subsubsection{Rename user and group before upgrading}

To have bareos running without any permission hazzle, it is recommended to rename the user and group \user{bacula} to the user and group \user{bareos} before upgrading. That way, we minimize the effort for the user to recheck all config files and the rights on every script/directory etc. involved in the existing setup.

The required commands should look something like this:
