Bacula is very solid, very stable, and very scalable. It has all the same features as various other tools but is now limited mainly by commercial licensing restrictions.

The solution has had a tremendous impact on our public company. We are now cost-effective and even better on performance with our restorations. 

Our team's top rated feature was deduplication before being transferred to the network and not generating a large amount of traffic. 

The compression was very easy, which led to it being very efficient, reducing the time to deduplicate. As we have more than one type of storage, the Bacula solution supports several existing backup platforms. 

The centralized management brought us simplicity in managing our backups.

The different plugins make a big difference. In my point of view, there are plugins for practically any situation. Today, we have seven plugins acquired and, depending on the emergence of new solutions that we use, we can easily find them with Bacula.

Its licensing method is transparent, easy to understand, and simple to calculate. In addition to not being expensive, the investment is relatively low.

Also, the solution has extensive documentation and a very active community. We were able to find a lot of documentation, help, and users in our country.

We like the ease of use and how powerful the tool can be. We like how the tool is very multi-platform friendly. It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite. 

We also like how Bacula is highly scalable. We like that Bacula can grow with our environment as we add more servers and client machines to our network. We like how one can recover one or more files chosen interactively either for the current backup or a backup before a specified date and time. This makes it easy for our IT staff to restore requested files.
