Public bug reported: The example bacula-dir.conf shows the catalog backup job as this:
Job { Name = "BackupCatalog" JobDefs = "DefaultJob" Level = Full FileSet="Catalog" Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup" # This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup -u<user> -p<password>" # This deletes the copy of the catalog RunAfterJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup" Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/BackupCatalog.bsr" Priority = 11 # run after main backup } The "RunBeforeJob" line should be changed to this: RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup <dbname> <user> <password>" No flags are needed, the first parameter is the database name (ie: bacula), the second parameter is the mysql username (ie: bacula), the third parameter is the password for the mysql user. ** Affects: bacula (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Catalog backup fails: incorrect parameters format for make_catalog_backup https://launchpad.net/bugs/68725 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
