Yes, but see Bruno's post on this - which also shows you how to change things (also change the catalog fileset in bacula-dir.conf). > Will it not affect the functionality of mysql and in turn bacula any way? > More importantly ,we wish to change the location of this directory itself. Keep the dump on local disk if at all possible. Writing out to NFS will probably increase the dump time by a factor of 3 as well as increasing the time taken to write back to tape. If you don't need bacula.sql, then enable the runafterjob line which deletes the dump once it's written to tape. See also other comments about dumping the database directly to tape without the intermediate database step (We keep the last 10 dumps on disk, so I prefer the way it's setup by default) AB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
