It sounds like you just want to wipe your sql database and keep your bacula configuration files. When I want to do this, I stop bacula and stop mysql (I use mysql): /etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop I then 'rm -r' the bacula mysql database files - something like this: cd /var/lib/mysql/data rm -r bacula I then start mysql and start bacula: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start /etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula start ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
