Hello,

It looks to me like MySQL 4.0 has changed the way they deal with indexing and keys since version 3.23.51. It appears as if they are using *only* the index to decide if the key is unique or not. The index was setup on the first 50 characters of the path. Previously, the index was used for indexing only and not to determine uniqueness.

Did you recently upgrade to MySQL 4.0? The solution I can see is to drop the index on Path and the index on Filename, then recreate them but create them on the full Path and the full Name rather than limiting it as is currently the case in the make_mysql_tables file.


IT IS THE INDEX. :(

Why would MySQL be giving me duplicate errors on a MULTIPLE KEY INDEX?

I ran the following:

use bacula;
alter table File drop index FilenameID;
alter table Path drop index Path;

Error messages gone.

I haven't created new indexes yet.
I actually want a RECORD of a set of backups recorded! :)
After the 12Gig over the internet backup completes,
I will probably try a 255 sized index.
