bacula.sql is the file that make_catalog_backup should create. Apparently, that script failed for some reason, or it put the backup file somewhere else.
The bacula catalog is stored in a mysql database. The most common way to back up databases is in two steps. First, dump the database into a file with the .sql extension, and then have bacula back up that file. make_catalog_backup is supposed to do the first part. The error message indicates that bacula can't find the file that make_catalog_backup created. Hint: maybe it is actually in /var/bacula/working (without the /opt/bacula?) ginzzer wrote: > I have installed the lastest bacula to CentOS5 with mysql installed.
