Re: [Bacula-users] backup catalog script in Ubuntu.

The problem is in a section of the make_catalog_backup_awk script where a variable must be passed before the mysqldump... I believe it's like this:

HOME=/var/lib/bacula mysqldump .......

Anyway, Christian turned me onto his script and he is Ubuntu as well. I compared the original script to Christian's version and noticed that was the only difference. It works flawlessly now.
