Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bacula is used for backing up all the servers that are relevant for developing our software.

Pros and Cons

Bacula is platform independent. We do backups of Linux, Windows, and iOS devices and are able to "cross-recover".
Bacula makes it easy for us to use tapes for our long term storage.
We use PostgreSQL for our Bacula repository which gives us the chance to use self-designed scripts for additional information of each backup taken so far.

Together with PostgreSQL as Bacula repository we would like to get the partitioning of large tables being involved.

Alternatives Considered

We've not used any others so far.

Support Rating

We are very satisfied with the support from Bacula. The response time on our issues is very short in general and all the girls and guys I was working with are experts.
