Upgrading 2.4.5 community edition Client Redhat RPM install to 2.5 Enterprise Client

Create a directory called /amandamove to hold amanda files during the upgrade:

[root@vmredhatclient ~]# mkdir /amandamove

Run this command on the backup server to determine where the gnutar-lists are placed on the client:

-sh-3.00$ amadmin x version  | grep listed_incr_dir
      listed_incr_dir="/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists"

Tar up the gnutar-lists usually located in /var/lib/amanda/ in to the /amandamove directory:

[root@vmredhatclient gnutar-lists]# tar -cvf /amandamove/gnutar_list.tar *
vmredhatclient.zmanda.com_boot_0.new
[root@vmredhatclient gnutar-lists]#

Copy the /var/lib/amanda/.amandahost to /amandamove:

[root@vmredhatclient gnutar-lists]# cp /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts /amandamove

Remove the old user amanda from the passwd and shadow files:

[root@vmservercomm ~]# cat /etc/passwd | grep amanda
amanda:x:501:6::/var/lib/amanda:/bin/bash
[root@vmservercomm ~]# cat /etc/shadow | grep amanda
amanda:!!:13276:0:99999:7:::

Remove the old user amanda from the groups:

disk:x:6:root,amanda
