#     of the output file (default = bacula).
#  $2 is the user name with which to access the database
#     (default = bacula).
#  $3 is the password with which to access the database or "" if no password
#     (default ""). WARNING!!! Passing the password via the command line is 
#     insecure and should not be used since any user can display the command 
#     line arguments and the environment using ps.  Please consult your
#     MySQL or PostgreSQL manual for secure methods of specifying the
#     password.
#  $4 is the host on which the database is located
#     (default "")
#  $5 is the type of database
