I am looking at doing base jobs to help avoid tying up systems for too
long though until multi-threading for the FD arrives it's kind of moot
as it takes the same amount of time with large file sets. I use the
MD5 checks as a means to verify file integrity and to restore if a file
gets corrupted.
To get around the issue I set the MD5 at a full backup window and then
have written a couple small shell scripts that are
multi-threaded/process to check the files on the systems every week
(checks run in less than 18 hours opposed to the 9-10 days if I ran a
verify w/ bacula). I then can compare those md5's with the ones in the
catalogue and restore just the corrupted files.
So I take it that there is no way to do this except a manual process at
this point?

I am running v5.0.2 against some clients with many files (5-10

checks) when I do a full backup of the clients. However I DO NOT want
to do a md5 check when I do differentials/incremental's due to the fact
that it takes days for bacula to calculate the md5's as it's single
threaded.
Why do you want the md5 checks when doing a full backup? Are you using Base
jobs? If not, then the full backup doesn't check the md5 anyway because it
always backs up every file.
