mysql -u root -p to start mysql works, as you showed/asked me to type it. BUT, that does not mean that what got passed in as a parameter specifying the database type, to the make_catalog_backup script when it was called, was in fact 'mysql' I do not know HOW the value of the database type is determined, for this particular parameter, nor why it is even truly necessary to be passing in the database type to this script. (Are there bacula configurations running on the same system interacting with multiple database types?) What I can tell you is, that whatever the value of the database type parameter, that was passed in to the make_catalog_backup script, it was not recognized within that script as a valid/known database type. (hence I wonder if the value was 'mariadb' instead of 'mysql', which would be causing the behavior that I am seeing.) Since the value of the passed in parameter, for the database type, was not recognized, the make_catalog_backup script defaulted to using PostgreSQL instead.
