Once a month-ish. My theory is that the vast number of files I'm backing up is confusing Bacula and/or MySQL. I'm backing up a mail server which uses Maildir, so naturally there are a *lot* of files. Bacula will freeze up just after the backup has started, so I think it's scanning through the database prepping for the job. I don't think it's ever occurred while my smaller systems are being backed up. I could (should) probably switch to Postgres for my catalog and see if that helps, but I don't really have the time for such a project especially considering that the offending mail servers are going away in the next few months.
