The catalog is the last backup of the night. (Lower Priority and later
start time).
This is the files in my catalog FileSet.
File = /var/spool/bacula/working/bacula.sql.gz
File = /var/spool/bacula/working/mysql.sql.gz
File = /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
File = /etc/bacula/bacula-schedule.conf
File = /etc/bacula/bacula-fileset.conf
File = /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
File = /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
File = /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
File = /etc/bacula/RCS
File = /etc/bacula/delete_catalog_backup
File = /etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup
File = /etc/bacula/backup-mysql.sh
File = /etc/my.cnf
File = /var/spool/bacula/bacula-db-backup/bacula
File = /var/spool/bacula/bacula-db-backup/mysql
File = /etc/init.d/bacula-sd
File = /etc/init.d/bacula-fd
File = /etc/init.d/bacula-dir
/var/spool/bacula/working/bacula.sql.gz
and /var/spool/bacula/working/mysql.sql.gz are mysqldump's of the
databases.
/var/spool/bacula/bacula-db-backup/bacula
and /var/spool/bacula/bacula-db-backup/mysql are mysqlhotcopy of the
databases.
The delete_catalog_backup runs after to delete the mysqlhotcopy versions
of the DB's it also e-mails
the /var/spool/bacula/working/BackupCatalog.bsr to my personal e-mail
and my g-mail account. This way I don't have to bscan the tapes for the
catalog and I can look in the bsr file to see what tapes are required to
get my bacula system running again.
I hope that this help.
