Bacula. Удаление старых клиентов

В системе резервного копирования Bacula с годами накапливаются артефакты в виде записей относящихся к уже не существующим клиентам.

Если по какой то причине возникла необходимость полностью удалить упоминания о каком то клиенте необходимо проделать следующее:

1. Комментируем в bacula-dir.conf ссылку на конфиг клиента.
2. Удаляем запись о клиенте из базы данных (в моем случае postgresql):

   psql -U postgres -c "delete from client where name='client-name'" bacula

   где client-name полное имя клиента (можно посмотреть в каталоге /var/db/bacula там он представлен в виде client-name.bsr)
3. Запустить чек базы bacula:

   dbcheck -f -b -c /usr/local/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

Примерный вывод комманд:

psql -U postgres -c "delete from client where name='clientname.domain.com-fd'" bacula
DELETE 1
# dbcheck -f -b -c /usr/local/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
