Thanks for
all the input.

I think a
lvm snapshot is the best way to go for us.

We tried
mysql replication but we ran into problems with the batch insert functions of
bacula.

Subject: [Bacula-users] How to backup the catalog










Hi List,


One
question, how to backup the catalog.


We are
using MySQL for the bacula catalog. This database is approximately 46 Gb in
size.

When we use
the backup script make_catalog_backup (supplied with bacula) to dump the
database, bacula is not usable during the mysqldump process due to locked
tables.


In this
case its not possible to make a backup of the catalog every day. We don’t like
a not responding bacula system ;)


My question
is how do you make a good backup of the catalog  without interrupting the 
bacula functionality?


Thanks and
regards

Jan Jaap
