/var/lib/mysql/bacula totals 34 MB, this contains the various 
FileName/Job/JobMedia/Pool MYI/MYD files, which is I presume the actual 
database, and the sizes I would expect.

The Vol_Catalog file defined in my config is a single file of by now ~4 GB 
(stored on Samba mounted NAS share).

The 11 MB is the size I get when I do a mysqldump (presumably from the database 
from /var/lib/mysql/bacula/*), and also happens to be the delta by which the 
size of the Vol_Catalog file is increasing every day.

So it looks like the daily database is dumped to the catalog and never purged?
