Hi,

I asked this on the users list without success so far. Maybe the devel
list is be a better place to ask this anyway.


Is it possible to configure a backup job to _not_ store information
about the backed up files/paths etc in the database?

I recently tried to backup my BackupPC pool with bacula. BackupPC
makes excessive use of hardlinks, I ended up with 50 GB of data in my
postgres database only for this single backup job!

I don't need the file information, the bacula backup will only be used
if I have to restore the whole BackupPC pool for desaster recovery.

I couldn't find an option for this in the FileSet, Client or Job
resources.

A very short file retention won't help, because my diskspace for the
database is not even big enough to store this information at all (the
job ended with an database error during the batch inserts...).
