One other datapoint is from the Debian/Ubuntu "popcon" (Popularity Contest) reports. The bacula-common Debian package is most installed at position 4259 with 1976 installs. bacula-fd at 4444 with 1784. There are about 400 installs of the director package. The most installed (non-bacula) package is listed with around 87000 entries so somewhere around 1 in 45 Debian systems reporting to popcon have at least one bacula package installed. Ubuntu reports many more systems (it offers to install popcon on install - or maybe it offers to not install it!) at 1.25 million and bacula-common is on about 5200 of these. That is 1 in 240 systems. Thera are about 400 installs of a director package reported too. Neither Debian or Ubuntu make a distinction between desktop or server installs but bacula is not installed as standard so the installs have been done by someone at least interested in the software if not using it in earnest. I should also point out that these installs are going to be mainly from the 2.x releases. Hope this is a useful datapoint.
