Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit managing backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. Based on Source Forge downloads, Bacula is the most popular Open Source backup program.
Great program in combination with rsync you can build a enterprise backup system with mirroring.
I'm running bacula on three backup-servers and it's a huge improvement over the proprietary backups solution that we used earlier
Complicated setup. The runs ok as long as there are no probs. Becomes a nightmare when there are troubles (like inserting the wrong tape). Gets confused too easily.
We've had great success using bacula to back up about 1 terabyte/week from 30-40 Unix/Linux hosts.
Very good project. Manages to backup terabytes of data a day to our tape libraries, where proprietary solutions failed miserably
the best open source backup software available!
Works as advertised for me
Way too complex for what I need. I want something like Acronis.
good, nos the best, but good... maybe this software will be great in the future.
If you've got a largish network full of machines with different OS's, this THE software you want! Works great for our organization.
The best I got since years
Cool
All the power of Veritas with none of the cost and less of the pain.
Bacula does what I need - it's more complicated than other tools, but also offers much more!
A bit more complex than a rsync script, but so powerful! Great job guys
The most complete opensource backup system. Mainly targeted at enterprise networks.
cool
This is the shizzle
This a more complete solution to backup.
I've had nothing but good things from Bacula and the community of developers that work on it. I'm currently using it to back up 5 TB of data in an academic environment, and I expect that to grow to 10-15TB in the next 1-2 years. I have every confidence that Bacula will grow with my needs.
Complications are the name of the game here
Bacula is 649th and Areca Backup is 53rd. Now which does SF rank as number one?
