Bacula. MySQL seems perfectly happy. Bacula has a number of symptoms which
make it unusable for a production system.

Well, I still have everything. I renamed the bacula database in MySQL 
and created
a fresh one as a means of allowing new jobs to operate in the mean time. 
I can't
wait for dbcheck to finish which is taking days with no backup service 
in operation.

Hence the discussion.
