+CHANGING DATABASE BACKEND
+=========================
+
+You can change the database backend by installing a different
+bacula-director-DBTYPE package. This will pull in the needed
+dependencies for the new database backend and remove the ones
+from the old one.
+
+Beware: Your current database IS NOT automatically converted to
+the new one but the new database is initialiazed to be empty.
+Also your /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf file IS NOT adapted to match
+the new database backend, you need to do the necessary changes
+to the Catalog{} section yourself.
+
+Failing to do so will break your installation and Bacula will cease
+to function.
