The create catalog script takes a parameter for the host. At lest it
did the last time I checked.
You specify the server the catalog config in bacula-dir.conf
Here is what I have for postgres
# Generic catalog service
Catalog {
Name = HBCatalog
dbname = bacula
user = bacula
password = bacula
dbaddress = dev6
dbport = 5432
}
The director machine is fileserver so the remote machine dev6 now
holds the catalog however I probably will move this soon since dev6 is
a 5 years old dual processor opteron box with only 4 GB of memory.

I've been doing all backups that way for a bit over six months now.
It's much more convenient than tape.
Just use Media Type = File in your director Storage definition block,
which changes volumes from individual tapes to individual files. Then
use something like this in your storage daemon configuration:
Device {
Name = MiniTowerStorage
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backups
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
# Requires Mount = yes
# Mount Point = /backups
# Mount Command = /etc/bacula/mountback
# Unmount Command = /etc/bacula/unmountback
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
That's from a 2.4.4 config. The 3.x options may be slightly different,
but I haven't migrated yet.
The commented statements are what should make Bacula automatically mount
and unmount the storage, but it doesn't actually work. It will happily
mount the array, but when the job is done, it does not run the unmount
command. I worked around that by adding before/after scripts to each
job that do the mounting/unmounting. You could just leave the storage
mounted, of course, but I prefer being able to physically remove the
drive tower at any time when a job isn't running, without having to
manually log to unmount and stop the array first.
Things get more complicated if you want to cycle multiple different
drives. You'll want to search the mailing list archive for info about
that - as I recall from what I've read, it's not all that easy to do
properly.
My last bit of advice is to size the volumes appropriately, since the
files are treated exactly like tapes for the purposes of expiration and
reuse. Size the volumes too big, and you might run into a situation
that's exactly like running out of tapes before the oldest one can be
recycled, but can't be remedied as easily as adding more to the pool.

To fix it, I set mysqldump to produce INSERT IGNORE statements and just watched the output then aborted when it started looping, cleaned up the last line and manually added a mysqldump closing stanza. Mysql repeatedly segfaulted when trying to drop the table, so in the end I simply deleted the whole (all mysql files), reinstalled the server, reran the make_msyql_* files and then imported all the tables again.
