Bacula is a set of programs that allow you to manage the backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of different computers. It is based on a client/server architecture and is efficient and relatively easy to use, while offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.

Changes: This release prevents inappropriate Volume purging. It fixes restore problems with accents in the path and two migration issues. It also corrects a storage daemon hang, problems when using runscript with Unicode paths under Win32, and an issue with job name duplication if more than 60 jobs were created in a minute. It no longer migrates failed jobs.

Great backup software
Bacula is for me the best backup software that I used. Full features:
- full, diff, inc backup
- linux, windows agent (client)
- mysql for database
Bacula do great job for our data :)
Good project.
Recommended.
The learning curve can be a little steep and, especally for larger networks, can require some planning but it's well worth the effort. If you try this project you should definitely RTFM and search the mail list archives be for starting a new email thread. Lots of good info there.
