Possibly *slightly* off-topic:

Those using MySQL for their catalog DB (well, actually, any of you using
MySQL, but that includes Bacula catalogs) may find this interesting:

http://www.mydumper.org/

It is a mysqldump replacement created by a couple of former MySQL AB
support engineers.  It is multithreaded, does parallel dumps, can be
told to ignore specified storage engines, has a daemon mode in which it
does periodic incremental dumps, and automatically generates consistent
dumps from both transactional and non-transactional storage engines
without the multiple (about 12) options required to achieve the same
ends with mysqldump.  It stores schema and data in separate files, and
supports both file and DB-connection compression.

In short, it's what mysqldump SHOULD have become by now, but hasn't.
