Summary0000140: Winbareos installer renames old config when updating
DescriptionWhen updating winbareos it renames the existing config.

This means extra work for administrators. There is also no hint, where to find the old files.

Expected behavior:
- ask installer, if he wants to keep existing config files or wants to overwrite with new ones.
TagsNo tags attached.

 Installer informs the administrator of every renamded file with full path.

See attached screenshot. Tested with newest installer on download.bareos.org.

Is this the same machine that already created problems that do not show up on any other test machine?

ok, there is the full path.

However, the main problem are the renamed files. As an admin I do not expect to manually rename existing and working config files after an upgrad. That is unnecessary extra-work and a potential error source.

I would expect the installer to recognize existing files and ask, if it should keep the files or write new ones. In the first case the dialog for director and passwords could also be skipped.

Due to the reimport of the Github repository to bugs.bareos.org, the status of some tickets have been changed. These tickets will be closed again.
Sorry for the noise.

Details Diff		 Better handling of existing config files

When existing configuration files are found, in interactive mode the
user is asked if the existing config file should be kept and the newly
generated file is stored aside as config.new.

Also, the user can choose to move the existing file to config.old, and
install the new one in the original place.
This is what is done in silent installation mode.

The default for the uninstaller is now to keep existing config files.
In silent mode, the uninstaller will remove existing config files.
