Hello,
The full manual is something like 800 pages so it is not easy to be
familiar with everything and there are things in the manual that should
have more explanation or are a bit out of date, but in general,
everything is documented. In this case, I am not exactly sure if it is
in the brief tutorial or the critical items, but what you are looking
for is definitely documented in PostgreSQL and MySQL sections of the
main.pdf manual. For example, you can find the information for
Postgres in:
http://www.bacula.org/7.4.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Configuring_Post.html
Best regards,
Kern

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
