  • How was this pull request tested?
    Manually, on multiple KVM hosts running Bareos 22 and Bareos 21 release.

  • Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
    Bareos 22 introduced breaking change in how the CLI tools (such as bconsole) parse the arguments. This pull request fixes the issue when calling the bconsole -xc command.

Before bconsole configuration export command is called, the script will check the bconsole version and will use the appropriate argument format later on.

If bconsole is called with incorrect argument format, the utility will terminate with 113 exit code, and rear mkrescue will fail as well.
