Thanks for this information. A couple of points: unfortunately, it was probably not well documented that bpipe was and still is what I consider a demo program. That is, it uses raw Unix calls rather than the Bacula infrastructure and as such, I don't consider it a "production" class plugin. One user recently complained that it produced poor error messages, which could well be true, but considering that it uses a raw Unix interface that is not too surprising ... That said, (second point): it should not crash, and I would appreciate it if you would file a bug report on the crash, because that is something that I would like to fix. Over the next couple of months, I'll look at bpipe to see if it is possible to improve its error messages and stability. I had hoped that bpipe would be a sort of template for "real" plugins that would be written explicitly for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite by the community. Unfortunately that hasn't happened -- at least not yet.
