Hi All,
I am curious to know if a backup job can be run without file records
being cataloged in the backend database.
I know about AutoPrune mechanism for files, but that happens after the
backup job is over for file records older than the retention time.
But we don't want the file records to get cataloged at all.
Hello,
I doubt this is possible.
The point of the catalog database is that Bacula can track the status
of a job and its files, related volumes and so on.
Without the data in the database Bacula would not be able to compare
the status of the files and wouldn't be able to perform incremental
backup.
For example, once all the data related to a specific job or volume is
pruned, in order to be able to restore the files using Bacula, the data
on the volume would first need to be inserted back into the database
using bscan tool.
