Hello,
Let me remind you that this is a community project and as such in many
cases needs community input rather than "Kern" supporting something. I
run PostgreSQL, so if someone wants and needs MariaDB then the project
kindly requests the necessary patches and testing.
I once tried MariaDB and found that it cannot be installed on the same
machine with MySQL unless you do a lot of tweaking at a very low level.
Currently I have both Postgres and MySQL installed on the same machines,
so supporting an additional DB is painful.
I expect that if MariaDB replaces all the MySQLs, eventually if no
community patches come for MariaDB I will be forced to add support for
it myself ...
Best regards,
Kern

You should be aware that the project no long support SQLite as it
is not suitable for backups of the size we are seeing today. We do
leave the code in Bacula so that users can upgrade to MySQL or
PostgreSQL at their ease rather than being forced.
Thanks, I didn't realize that. I guess I should work on migrating to
MySQL... our catalog is about 20GB and probably over 50 million file
records.
Skip mysql and go postgres: you're going to get mariadb that Kern
doesn't support either, once you hit 50M and 1 records you'll need to
figure out how to tune up your innodb, when to optimize every table,
etfc. Postgres is pretty much fire-and-forget.
