The person who packaged bacula that you installed has total control of
everything: where the files go, which database is used, and everything else.


These things can vary greatly from one distro to another because different
people package bacula for each distro. It's not controlled by bacula or its
developers. 

Often, there are readme docs with the package to get you started. However,
if you want complete control over bacula, you can d/l the bacula source
files and compile it yourself from here:

5.2.12 works very well for me. From a couple of things I've seen, 5.2.13
might have issues or require changes - but this might be a misunderstanding
on my part, since I have not attempted to use it.

I have only a about a dozen machines to back up, so mysql works very well
for me.
