I came to the situation where I lost my bacula MariaDB database (InnoDB index corruption repair unsuccessfull, dump and re-insert resulting in empty table) last successfull dump already rotated away. So I wanted to re-populate the database with bscan but bscan complains it an not connect to the PostgreSQL Database. There is a -D option to specify a 'driver' but no matter how I try to spell MySQL or MariaDB, I always get the error it is trying to connect Postgress. Google revealed, there should be different packages of bscan compiled for the corresponding database, like there are for bacula-sd Debian only provides one flavour - Postgress which is useless for recovery with a MySQL database.
ii bacula-common 15.0.3-3 ii bacula-common-pgsql 15.0.3-3 ii bacula-sd 15.0.3-3 ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-19
By installing just "bacula-bscan", apt choses the first database dependency automatically, which is for PostgreSQL.
To get a MySQL-capable bscan, you need to manually install "bacula-common-mysql". Then the correct driver will be available and recovering a MySQL DB will work.
