You will need to munge MySQL's output for the RestoreObject.RestoreObject column into either bytea hex or escape format (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/datatype-binary.html). > Do I actually need to import this table, or will the entries get > re-populated as successful backups are completed? Yes, I think you do need to import it if you want to be able to restore these jobs. It stores per-job information including Windows VSS data, but maybe other things as well. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
