afaik it was never a default to drop the database automatically before inserting a dump, but anyway i dont think that this really happend, because he writes that bacula is complaining about duplicate entries which means that bacula wants to insert something and that would be a duplicate. if he had duplicated the content of the database when i inserted the dump again, then mysql would have complained during the restore of the dump. this happend to me for dozens of time, i am sure and thats why i am pretty sure that automatic dropping of database was never a default.

what might have happend is the following: when you reload the database by dumping it and restoring it, autoincrement values may have been renumberd. usually the autoincrement column
is defined as a key and due to this would not be allowed to be not unique.

regards,
philipp
