The MySQL database is located in /var/lib/mysql/bacula - I have backed up this file, and moved it to a different machine that is running bacula and have gotten it to work. That is, I can list files from my backups, I get history on my previous backups....what I need to know, is this sufficient?
For testing purposes it may work out OK, but for a production database? No.
The best way to back up MySQL is listed in the MySQL reference manual:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/disaster-prevention.html
If my bacula server goes down, can I rebuild it, reinstall bacula, restore my /var/lib/mysql/bacula directory, and everything will work
as it should?
No. You don't have any way to guarantee that the database isn't corrupt.
