It sounds like you just want to wipe your sql database and keep your bacula
configuration files.

When I want to do this, I stop bacula and stop mysql (I use mysql):

/etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop

I then 'rm -r' the bacula mysql database files - something like this:

cd /var/lib/mysql/data
rm -r bacula

I then start mysql and start bacula:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula start
