I agree with you here - replication is the better way to go but not everyone does that.
In the next few weeks I'll be doing the same thing as you since I've finally decreased my DB size (started to become more strict about client systems and keeping things clean! while at the same time upgrading everything to 5.2+ [5.2.12 on the director/sd side]) Also I piggy back on the DB dump script to issue reports when run - so if I come into the office and see the report(s) didn't come in ... time to investigate :P On 12/11/12 16:47, ccspro wrote: And make sure your Catalog backup has the lowest priority (say 99) so it will be completed after all Jobs are done for the day. Personally, I don't bother with a catalog backup job separate from my DB backups, since my Bacula catalog is by far the largest schema in my DB anyway (96% of both total application data and total application data rows). I just back up the DB last and have redundant, replicated DB servers. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 alaric < at > caerllewys.net alaric < at > metrocast.net phil < at > co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
