Folks,

This is a database question, but I figured some of the bacula users may have 
come across this problem so I am posting it here.


Every monday I run following commands to check and garbage collect bacula 
database:

dbcheck command
vacuumdb -q -d bacula -z -f
reindexdb

Usually I purge one or two backup volumes and the above commands run in less 
than 20 minutes. 

Before my monthly Full backup I delete large amount of data from the database 
as I delete one month worth of Full and Incremental backups. When I run the 
above commands after the Full backup, the vacummdb command take 12 hours to 
run. Is there a faster/better way of doing it?

My database is about 9GB.

If I backup database using pgdump and then restore it, will it do the same 
thing as vacuumdb and reindexdb commands?

Thanks.
