We have not yet tried MariaDB, but we are following its development very 
closely.  It looks very interesting. We have through our FSFE contacts 
attempted to establish a dialog directly with Monty to learn a bit more about 
MariaDB, but so far that has not worked.  

We are not very pleased with where MySQL seems to be going (buggy beta 
releases, uncertainity with Oracle acquisition, ...).  

If you have a large Bacula installation (100 or more jobs nightly) we highly 
recommend PostgreSQL. MySQL apparently does not permit multiple simultaneous 
Batch Inserts. which can cause major bottlenecks. 

For large Bacula installations, PostgreSQL is faster and probably more stable 
than MySQL, but it does require more administration and good tuning to get 
maximum performance.

Best regards,

Kern
