Hi all,

I stumbled across something I consider to be an extremely critical
issue.

When you tell a client to create a MySQL Backup and the plugin can not
be loaded, Bacula returns _success_, yet the backup is not existant
other than for the internal headers.
Any and all automated checks built into Bacula will tell you the backup
is OK, yet there is no backup at all.
Unless you manually verify backup sizes, you are simply misled about the
actual status of backups.

The obvious fix would be for the plugin handler to actually verify if
any plugin accepted and executed the command it sends to them.


Sorry if I overlooked any obvious mechanism to work around this, but I
don't think there is any.

Thanks,
Richard
