 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.
+This is NOT RECOMMENDED and NOT SUPPORTED FOR LIVE DATA.
 
-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.
+Your current database IS NOT transferred to the new database
+backend. The new database backend will have an EMPTY database. Your
+/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf file WILL NOT be automatically adapted to
+function with 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.
+If you want to go ahead anyway, you 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.
