I am using Debian Wheezy (stable) with bacula 5.2.6 and Postgresql 9.1
-I Cannot Make the Catalog backup to work_
I work so many hours on this but now I am turning in circles.
I get the following error when I try to run a backup of the catalog
Could not stat "/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql": ERR=No such file or directory
The file exists it creates it because I see it in /var/lib/bacula after the attempt.
I temporarly disabled the Run After sequence so the file won't get erased
Here is my director config:

I like this software but I found it was hard to make it work ... but after this issue is solved
I know it will work for years without a glitch !
Please, any idea I can try ?
