Dear Bacula Users,

1. Why FIFO isn't more popular for database dumps backups? Is there any drawback?
2. I inserted RedFifo=yes on FileSet Options and configured a simple RunBeforeJob script (below) to test FIFO backup, but the backup job stalls waitng for script termination. Am I missing something?

The FIFO special file created by mkfifo will block for read or write until both ends of the FIFO are opened. See man mkfifo(3).


[ -p /tmp/tubo ] ||mkfifo /tmp/tubo
ls -l > /tmp/tubo
