Bacula is a series of computer programs that allow the system administrator to manage backup, recovery and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different types. Bacula can also run entirely on a single computer and backup to a variety of different media types, including tape and disk.

Bacula is very easy to use, highly efficient and provides a number of advanced storage management features which make it simple to locate and recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula can be scaled from small individual computer systems to systems made up of hundreds of computers over a massive network.

Open Source-Based

Bacula is a series of open source-based computer programs which allow you to manage backup, recovery and verification of computer data across a network of various kinds of computers.

Enterprise Ready

Easy and efficient to use, Bacula data backup software offers a wide range of advanced storage management features that make it simple to locate and recover lost or damaged files.

Chosen by Millions

Bacula is the most popular open-source backup software tool for full system backup, according to Source Forge rank and downloads statistics. It has thousands of contributors worldwide and has racked up 2.5 million downloads.



Bacula Components or Services

Bacula is consists of five major components or services: Director, Console, File, Storage and Monitor services.

The Bacula Director service is the program that oversees all the backup, restore, verify and archive operations. Bacula Director can be used by the system administrator to schedule backups and to recover files.


The Bacula file service (also known as the client program) is the software program installed on the machine that will be backed up. Its specific to the OS it runs on and is responsible for delivering the file attributes and data when they are requested for by the Director.


The Bacula Storage service are made up of software programs that execute the storage and recovery of the file attributes and data to the physical backup media and volumes. Essentially, the Storage daemon reads and writes to your storage target, for example tapes (or other storage object / media).


The Bacula Monitor service enables the administrator/user to view the current status of Bacula Directors, Bacula File Daemons and Bacula Storage Daemons. To execute a successful save and restore, these four daemons need to be configured and running: the Director daemon, the File daemon, the Storage daemon and the Catalog service (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite.)


The Bacula Console service enables the administrator/user to communicate with the Bacula Director. The Bacula Console is currently available in three versions:

Text-Based Console Interface

The first option and the easiest is to run the Console program in a shell window. The majority of system administrators will find this more than adequate.

QT-Based Interface

The second version is a GNOME GUI interface which is incomplete but functional and features the majority of the capabilities of the shell console.

wxWidgets Graphical Interface

The third version is a wxWidgets GUI which features an interactive file restore. It also has most of the capabilities of the shell console, enables command completion with tabulation and provides you immediate help about the command you are typing.

Data Backup and Recovery in HPC and Big Data


IT centres are facing an ongoing challenge to adapt and enhance their IT operations to maintain flexibility and deal with the performance needs of tomorrow. Fresh approaches to security, performance and efficiency are being adopted to achieve these improvements.

Bacula Enterprise fully supports Posix compliant file systems, helping you avoid vendor lock-in. Every file-system that can be mounted to a Linux or Windows host can be used, including parallel and clustered file systems like Lustre or Quobyte.

Bacula significantly reduces complexity for HPC users through supporting a large number of file systems, including:

  • ext 2|3|4
  • xfs
  • ReiserFS
  • BeeGFS
  • GlusterFS
  • GFS
  • GPFS
  • Hadoop *
  • HPSS
  • Lustre
  • Quobyte
  • Swift *

*requires a Bacula Enterprise module (plugin)

Bacula is a proven HPC backup and recovery solution, able to handle massive amounts of data with ease and efficiency. It is anticipated that innovation and technology in the HPC will increase, most specifically in areas such as Hybrid Cloud, container technologies, edge compute and security approaches. As organisations look to create an ideal balance between on-premises HPC solutions and cloud, Bacula delivers a way to safeguard and recover these entire environments from a single platform.


The Catalog services are made up of the software programs in charge of maintaining the file indexes and volume databases for all files backed up. The Catalog services allow the system admin/user to find and restore any file quickly. The Catalog services differentiate Bacula from simple backup programs such as tar and bru, as the catalog keeps a record of all Volumes used, all the Jobs run and all Files saved, allowing for efficient restoration and Volume management.


Database Backup Software and Solutions

Backing Up and Restoring Database – The Tools and the Strategy

It vital to correctly backup a database in an IT infrastructure and its often crucial to meet backup policy requirements. With the database management systems tools it possesses, Bacula provides industry-leading technology and raises the bar for enterprise-grade database backup software solutions. Bacula’s database technology is integrated natively for blazing fast performance and extra features. Bacula is the ideal option if you require a fast, simple to use, robust, secure, high-end enterprise database backup software.


Backup strategy with Bacula Enterprise can be highly flexible. You can schedule database backups with a special mechanism and it is also possible to execute batch and SQL scripts both before or after database backup jobs actually begin or end.

Bacula’s backup software is media and storage-agnostic, databases can be backed up to any location: local or network folders, NAS or SAN devices or any cloud provider.

With the compression, encryption and deduplication technologies used in your database backup storage, you can enjoy savings on storage capacity, reduced network bandwidth and decreased database backup execution time. Full, incremental and transactional log backups support ensure the most effective use of Bacula database backup software.

Bacula database backup tools support both hot and cold backup modes which enable you to perform backups without server interruption and ensure data consistency whilst performing database backups.


There is no specific knowledge needed while handling data and metadata, such as users, rights, roles, etc. However, comprehensive and advanced customisation options are available immediately to the user, delivering the required flexibility for the most demanding professional environments.


Enterprise Backup

Amazon S3 – Azure – Oracle Cloud – Google Cloud – Glacier Cloud and more.

Bacula delivers the flexibility, compatibility and management you require for your cloud-based backup and recovery, in addition to native integration with public and private cloud through the Azure, Amazon S3, Glacier, Oracle Cloud and Google Cloud interfaces. There is also transparent support for S3-IA. Bacula provides natively integrated Amazon S3, Azure¸Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud backup software for the enterprise.



Incremental Backup Software for Linux and Windows

The Best Incremental Backup Software for Linux and Windows. Differential Backup Software.

Bacula supports all of the different standard file backup levels present in all major backup solutions.

Full backups secure the entire defined data set. They use up more resources for their execution in storage, network, bandwidth and execution times. Full backups are the most complete and the quickest to restore from should a disaster occur.

Incremental backups are all the files that have been changed since the previous backup, no matter the level. Most of the time incremental backups have shorter execution times and consume less physical and logical resources than the entire file sets which make up a full backup.

Differential backups contain a combination of all file changes since the last full backup. Differential backups can potentially reduce restore times drastically, as for a given point in time recovery you don’t require the last full and all incremental backups. Differential backups contribute to increased savings in time and cost. The number of volumes that Bacula requires to access on disk becomes much smaller. Differential backup software is fast and convenient.
