Hello, I doubt this is possible. The point of the catalog database is that Bacula can track the status of a job and its files, related volumes and so on. Without the data in the database Bacula would not be able to compare the status of the files and wouldn't be able to perform incremental backup. For example, once all the data related to a specific job or volume is pruned, in order to be able to restore the files using Bacula, the data on the volume would first need to be inserted back into the database using bscan tool. -- Josip Deanovic ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Backup without files records
Hello Yateen,Try the Pool resource directive "Store Files in Catalog = yes|no".It is a feature from the Bacula Enterprise Edition. Not sure if ported to the Community 11 or 13 versions.Regards,--MSc Heitor Faria (Miami/USA)CIO Bacula LatAmmobile1: + 1 909 655-8971mobile2: + 55 61 98268-4220[ http://bacula.lat/]Get BlueMail for Android On Jan 7, 2023, 9:43 AM, at 9:43 AM, "Yateen Shaligram Bhagat (Nokia)" wrote:Bacula-users mailing listBacula-users@lists.sourceforge.nethttps://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Backup without files records
Hi All, I am curious to know if a backup job can be run without file records being cataloged in the backend database. I know about AutoPrune mechanism for files, but that happens after the backup job is over for file records older than the retention time. But we don't want the file records to get cataloged at all.
