Great Backup Software

Overall Satisfaction with Bacula Enterprise

We used Bacula to backup a Hyper-V environment with more than 2000 VMs and almost 1PB of data.

Pros

  • Speed
  • Dedup
  • Ease

Cons

  • Web Interface
  • Installation
  • Integrations
  • Low cost compared to competitors.
  • No need for database and operating system licensing.
  • Complete backup of the environment on disk and tape.
Bacula cost-benefit ratio is better than all the others, as in addition to having many more integrations with operating systems and hypervisors, it is not necessary to purchase more licenses for backups such as NAS, File to Tape, Cloud, etc.
