  • Agile backup management
  • Security of the institution's information
  • Extremely positive impact due to our information being important to the institution's activities.

Using Bacula Enterprise

5 - All who operate the backup system are employees of the information technology sector
1 - The software is so easy to operate that we only have one expert to provide the support work.
  • Vmware virtual machine backups
  • Oracle and Postgresql Database Backup
  • Backup of linux operating systems
  • We implement backup of switches and routers
  • We made integration with zabbix to inform possible problems in backups
We intend to renew but we have some momentary financial difficulties which can get in our way, despite the bacula being much cheaper than other backup solutions.

Evaluating Bacula Enterprise and Competitors

Yes - We updated bacula community to the enterprise version
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Certainly the two most important factors were: Features along with the previously used backup format (Bacula Community); Price much less than other solutions.
I wouldn't change anything about the acquisition process.

Bacula Enterprise Implementation

Bacula Systems and especially Bacula Brazil were extremely attentive and served us very well, making all implementations or changes work perfectly
  • Implemented in-house
  • Third-party professional services
We contracted the implementation together with Bacula Brazil, which provided us with all the necessary and fast support for the perfect functioning of the solution.
Not sure - We already had an old backup system (bacula community) that was totally improved with Bacula Enterprise
  • We had no implementation issues.

Problems left unsolved
I bought support to have greater security in case a problem arises. The tool is very good and I only had to get in touch for cases where I wasn't sure to make some decisions in using the tool.
A little over 2 years ago I opened a ticket where the backups had problems when recording to a tape library. The analysts contacted me and we came to the conclusion that the equipment (hardware) was in trouble. How bad! We no longer had warranty on this equipment. The problem was not the software.

Using Bacula Enterprise
