The last scenario in which I used Bacula was for a customer who needed some open-source tool which could support encryption at that time. We managed to convince the customer to use Bacula to deploy it in their environment.

We use the solution as a complete backup solution for virtual machines and databases in Prodap - Data Processing in Amapá. Its very lean and simple architecture, with its deduplications not covering our network, made our traffic around 60% lighter. We also like the efficiency of data compression. Even the full dump performed had a gain of around 40%. In our scenario, the DBA team liked it as it wasn't tied to a single database solution. We had a single problem with the OS that many of our operating systems are outdated, however, even so they have a data repository for old versions.

We are a government agency, a Legislative Chamber, and we produce information on legislation and also content for public television. All this data needs protection and availability, quickly, even in the event of a serious failure of our environment. We use everything from Unix-Like servers (FreeBSD, RHEL, Debian) to Windows servers. There are also Oracle, MariaDB, and SQLServer databases. We have a very heterogeneous environment. Bacula Enterprise converges with our needs. It has plugins for all our systems and databases.

Bacula is an extremely versatile backup tool. We have been using it for several years and we are very satisfied with how easy it is to configure and set up and run backups. We have petabytes of images to backup on a daily basis. We have five servers constantly creating images and Bacula makes it easy to organize the images and backup the data. We like how the backup can be queued to run as one big stream on the tape, rather than having the tape run back and forth or stopping between files. This saves us on tape wear and tear.

We've got a health care enterprise that holds a lot of refined and personal data that should be safe even after a complete system crash. Our environment is widely heterogeneous using Linux, Windows, and OSX as operating and PostgreSQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, and MySQL as database management systems. The ease in getting reliable backups of different platforms has been the motivation for choosing Bacula Enterprise Systems.
I am Bacula Enterprise's executive distributor in Russia. We provide our details in the NDA. Bacula Enterprise is used for backups for our clients from various banks.

We have three central servers, each one backing up the machines on their respective site. We have a combination of servers and other storage devices. It is a standard backup solution where we have an incremental backup every night. We do a differential backup on Sundays and then a full backup on a monthly basis. We also do a restore task once a month to verify the backup.
Data backup involves copying and moving data from its primary location to a secondary location from which it can later be retrieved in case the primary data storage location experiences some kind of failure or disaster.
