Hi Georger,

I've been trying to setup the backup of our Oracle server with bacula following 
the steps mentioned in your doc.But, I am getting these errors:

25-Jun 08:55 tapti18522-fd JobId 20: ClientRunBeforeJob: SP2-0734: unknown 
command beginning "/var/oracl..." - rest of line ignored.
25-Jun 08:55 tapti18522-fd JobId 20: ClientRunBeforeJob: -rw-rw----    16785408

I guess it has to do with the fact that pl/sql does not recognize 'host' 
command:

Would like to know how it worked for you, and/or if there any additional steps 
that I need to follow.

Greatly appreciate your response.

Thanks,
