the make_catalog_backup script would need to be changed to have a different working directory (at least with my version of bacula).  I made that change myself some time back (I also like to keep the bacula.sql file around--so I didn't change delete_catalog_backup).  Alas, since I install from fedora RPMs, my local changes have recently been lost due to an updated RPM--however, as I recall, the only change is the wd variable in the script (my perl is weak enough that I was happy that I was able to figure out even that triviality).

Hello,

Is it possible to change the location where the files in
/var/spool/bacula are written to?

The size of my bacula.sql file is getting quite large so I am trying to
move the file which is stored in /var/spool/bacula to a different
partition with more space.  I have changed the WorkingDirectory
parameter in bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf and bacula-sd.conf from
WorkingDirectory = "/var/spool/bacula" to WorkingDirectory =
"/home/bacula" and in bacula-dir.conf I changed the FileSet for the
Catalog from File = "/var/spool/bacula/bacula.sql" to File =
"/home/bacula/bacula.sql".  When I run the BackupCatalog job after
restarting bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf and bacula-sd.conf the
bacula.sql is still being written to /var/spool/bacula.

Thanks for the help,

Patrick
