Hi List,


One question, how to backup the catalog.


We are using MySQL for the bacula catalog. This database is approximately 46 Gb in size.

When we use the backup script make_catalog_backup (supplied with bacula) to dump the database, bacula is not usable during the mysqldump process due to locked tables.


In this case its not possible to make a backup of the catalog every day. We don�t like a not responding bacula system ;)


My question is how do you make a good backup of the catalog  without interrupting the bacula functionality?


Thanks and regards

Jan Jaap
