The counter-argument to this is, of course, that the enterprise db server is often the best equipped and configured in terms of high-availability, clustering, and replication, making it the system least likely to go down in the first place ;-) Naturally, you don't want that DB server to be a d

If bacula supported other DB engines, bacula could be more easily "evaluated", but the mysql setup is pretty darn simple. I applaud the bacula developers for adding extra documentation on mysql into the bacula docs rather than just a simple link to a google search or www.mysql.org If I didn'

I have to agree with Joao (apologies for spelling problems due to Latin alphabet). The choice of something as trivial as a catalog database can be a complete show-stopper for many applications. I have seen this when deploying a solution that met all customer requirements, but which was SQL

Yes, one database is very appreciable by customer whose not have skills to manage a mysql, pgsql or sqllite databases. But my goal with this idea is to promote Bacula in enterprise sites which has only one type of database. I believe in the independence of the database too. Thanks for replys.
