Yes, that's how your MIME-encoded message looks.

Actually, I believe that the size of each file is stored in the catalog. The 
problem is that the information is stored as binary lstat data (base64 encoded).

In fact, Arno Lehmann documented this on 23 Oct 2007 (in a post in the thread 
entitled "File size from backup needed. Where?").

On 28 Nov 2007, "Jay" posted a python script to the list that will decode some 
fo the values in the File.LStat field, so that you can get the information you 
wanted. The post was titled "Filesize in database".

The list archives are a really good place to search before posting...

I include the bacula logs in the logrotate configuration, so that the nightly 
logrotate process handles bacula logs along with all the other system log files.
