I'm backing up a handful number of Unix boxes, they all get backed up very
quickly but we can't access them due to the BackupCatalog job being very slow.
When I read online, I see people said it's because of the database size getting
larger and larger.
I cancel the backup catalog job and all the servers become accessible. This is
the configuration for catalog:
# This is the backup of the catalog
FileSet {
Name = "Catalog"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = "/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql"
}
}
All backups finish around 5 AM but all the servers remain inaccessible until
8:30 or so. The last job running is that backup job so I thought the process
getting slower and slower everyday might have something to do with the size of
th ebacula.sql file.
