I'm backing up a handful number of Unix boxes, they all get backed up very quickly but we can't access them due to the BackupCatalog job being very slow. When I read online, I see people said it's because of the database size getting larger and larger.
I cancel the backup catalog job and all the servers become accessible. This is the configuration for catalog:
All backups finish around 5 AM but all the servers remain inaccessible until 8:30 or so. The last job running is that backup job so I thought the process getting slower and slower everyday might have something to do with the size of th ebacula.sql file.
