Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Backup service for servers, databases, and virtual machines, and transfer of virtual to physical data using tapes. It is possible to manage these services using a simple and friendly interface. Through the interface, it is possible to save time and costs for my company. The tool is used for all database services and machines currently used by the data center.
Pros
  • Server Backup
  • Database Backup
  • Manage Backup
  • Recovery Backup
Cons
  • Interface
Likelihood to Recommend
The integration of Bacula with the Database and also with the tool used for managing virtual machines was perfectly implemented. Being easily manageable through the Bacula interface. The interface, although simple, requires knowledge for backup, but with time and use by the team, this difficulty ceases to exist. In a short time, my entire team was able to learn how to use the tool.

Extremely impressive support staff for a complex product

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are the McLean Imaging Center--the neuroimaging center at McLean Hospital. McLean maintains the world's largest neuroscientific and psychiatric research program in a private hospital. It is the largest psychiatric facility of Harvard Medical School, an affiliate of Massachusetts General Hospital, and part of Mass General Brigham. The Imaging Center is primarily research, with some clinical duties as well. At the Center we back up ~50 clients and ~1.5 PB to a mix of disk and LTO7 tape. Our primary workload is research neuroimaging data.
Pros
  • Hyper-competent support staff
  • Extreme configurability
  • Extensive logging and reporting
  • Command line and GUI interface
Cons
  • Backups storage format is outdated--treats everything, even disk, as if it were a tape.
  • No deduplication support in base product.
  • Inconsistent support for filesystem snapshots on non-Windows platforms
  • Steep learning curve--but rewards learning!
Likelihood to Recommend
Bacula Enterprise is not the easiest backup software to work with--you are expected to be competent at the command line and editing complex configuration files, even if you mostly use the web GUI for day-to-day operations. However, study is rewarded--you can do many very complex things. Easy things may not always be easy, but very hard things are possible (unlike many competitors that make easy things easy and hard things impossible).

I would not recommend Bacula to someone who just wants a quick plug and play solution; but in my opinion your backups and disaster recovery system shouldn't be plug and play - that's a great way to feel good about a solution that won't actually work for you when it's needed!

Bacula plays an important role to ensure our data recovery. Bacula also has so many flexibilities that we can configure according to our needs. We use Bacula Enterprise, Bacula vSphere Plugin, and Bacula Web. I would like to give a big shout to Bacula Support. Their reaction is great and is very helpful with troubleshooting the problems that I had. The explanation of troubleshooting is also clear and in a very detailed way.
Pros
  • Troubleshooting skills
  • Flexibility in configuring Job & Schedules
  • Bacula Support are top
Cons
  • Bacula Web could be improved in the future.
Likelihood to Recommend
Flexibilities to configure the backup jobs, schedules are the most helpful feature in Bacula Enterprise. Bacula can almost cover everything.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a daily user of the Bacula Enterprise tool, it was necessary to improve knowledge about data backup and recovery technology. My team is responsible for maintaining the backup in various files on virtual servers and times to ensure that all Backup services work correctly on a daily basis. We are also responsible for handling data recovery tickets from servers and databases. We use Postgres and Oracle.
Pros
  • Ease of managing backup services on servers and databases
  • Integration with virtualization tools and Databases
  • Adaptable interface for team needs
  • data recovery from storage devices
Cons
  • Interface customization is not so intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
Bacula Enterprise is an excellent tool for a company that needs to perform automated data backup, whether the volume is large or small. If it is necessary to reduce data deduplication and also transfer to tapes, so that this data is stored longer. Bacula Enterprise is a complete and simple tool, if your company doesn't have the need to automate backups and manage these routines, there wouldn't be much collaboration in the use of this tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have been working with the Bacula Enterprise solution for the past three years, mainly to manage Backup Jobs, and also as a tool for data recovery. We need a reliable tool for data recovery both on tapes and on any other digital media, as we comply with legal level agreements whose non-compliance would generate great losses. The use of this tool facilitated the assistance of the team responsible for backups and also reduced data deduplication
Pros
  • Ease of handling errors through full logs.
  • Complete support in cases where there was a need for fast and accurate service.
  • Ease of configuring the interface for managing backups.
  • Simple data restoration on LTO tapes.
Cons
  • Difficulties with version upgrades, however, quickly resolved by support
  • Difficulty customizing some reports
Likelihood to Recommend
The fundamental situation for using the Bacula Enterprise tool for us was the reliability for restoring data and managing backup routines. Even if your team is not an expert, the support team quickly responds to needs. The tool is very simple to use, so with daily use, the adaptation is very quick. It is advised that the company has well-structured backup governance.
