I think you minsunderstand.
I am not using the bacula DB in any nonstandard way or for other
purposes.
The problem I see / the question I have is that the script
"make_catalog_backup.pl" as distributed with bacula will not only dump
the bacula database, but _all_ databases on the whole PostgreSQL
_server_.
If I use one machine as a DB server, I might use it to hold other
databases (completely unrelated to bacula) as well. I've been using
MySQL so far, and here "make_catalog_backup.pl" will dump only the
bacula DB (i. e. MyCatalog). When using a PostgreSQL server, the
script will not dump only this one DB, but all other, completely
unrelated databases as well (plus the DB schema and what else).
I think this is not correct - I may end up backing up many, many
gigabytes of data which are totally unrelated.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
