The setup I'm trying to convert is as simple as it gets: a single host
that backs up itself, no other clients are involved.


I've tried using the create_postgres db and table scripts provided by
the bacula install before running pgloader to import the data from
mariadb, but sadly this hasn't helped. The warning in bconsole
disappears, but bacula is still unable to find any volumes from the
old catalog as they're displayed as "\xss850938sdkl" or similar as
described in my previous email.

It might well be that pgloader mangles the db data in some way. Are
there other proven ways to import a mariadb database into postgres
that folks here might have any experience with?

Thanks,

Uwe
