Unless you have billions of files on each client there is no reason your catalog is that large. Are you sure you correctly applied job and file retention on your catalog? Also are you sure you catalog is not full of orphaned records? Before migrating to postgres (which is a good choice for big catalogs), I would look at the catalog to see if all retention period are correctly applied. I am running dbcheck to see how many rabbits come out of the bushes. File table is only 6.6GB and Log is 105GB. What's that Log table for? It only have blobs... It is supposed to contain bacula report... just like in the bacula log file. I'm not sure having such a big amount of  data in another table hurts, may be it does if you use innodb. If you use MyISAM... my guess is it should not hurts... but note I am not a DBA! However, I'd like to know if this table can be safely purged? As one day or another it will grow to an unacceptable size... (even more if I have the same info in logfile). Also, in a near future I will change bacula-dir to another server, which will be a good opportunity to start a blank catalog and go with Postgres, without any migration, just keeping the old one sitting there until the end of retention period. -- Marcio Merlone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
