Ah, that's a great point. I was afraid if I used mariadb the set up might not work correctly as the HOWTO refers to MySQL and POSTGRESQL, but does not mention mariadb, so I went and put the MySQL-community repo on my server and installed MySQL that way. This is a test server I'm working with so perhaps I'll blow the DB away and try again with mariadb. But I think I'll continue testing with MySQL 5.7.9 and see how it runs with the table creation statement changes I made. Will the documentation update to include mariadb? Do we know if Bareos will support all three DBs? It stands to reason that as the mariadb fork continues it will eventually differ enough from MySQL that it might become an issue.
