I take the scripts provided by Bacula as being suggestions. I always copy them out of the base installation location, and modify them for my specific needs. Case in point: mtx-changer. I suggest that you do similar. FYI, this is what I do: RunBeforeJob = "/home/bacula/make_catalog_backup.new MyCatalog" RunBeforeJob = "/usr/bin/tar -czf /wdc/bacula/MyCatalog.tgz /wdc/bacula/MyCatalog.sql" Where /home/bacula/make_catalog_backup.new is a Python script, I think provided by Unbuntu, which searches the bacula-dir.conf file for the Catalog entry called MyCatalog. It uses that information to connect to the database server and dumps that single database.
