Kern et all.
I think there is also some confusion on this link:
http://www.clarkconnect.org/projects/backup.php
The bugs that we are referring to are from our own PHP wrapper, not bugs in the
Bacula sources, and hence, would be useless to submit to the Bacula bugs database.
We made a single change to the Bacula source code in regards to bsmtp binary.
Not because there was a bug, but because we wanted to send attachments using
bsmtp. We 'hacked' this in to work with sharutils RPM...not very elegantly, and
certainly not worthy of a bug submission.
The cc-bacula module contains the components for the PHP UI (all GPL), specific
to the ClarkConnect API, but certainly re-usable. The source RPM will be
available once we release the final version. Nothing of the PHP wrapper is
compiled anyway.
We have one additional module for the developer community that could be of use,
specifically, [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s post to the bacula-users list on July
12th, 9:23. It is a PHP plugin (bacula.so) written in C++ that allows direct
communication to the Bacula director daemon. This too, will be released with
the final version under GPL. If anyone wants a current version, feel free to
email me directly.
I hope this clears up some of the current confusion that exists with our
implementation of Bacula into ClarkConnect SBS.
Cheers,

You might want to look at ClarkConnect , seems they've incorporated it

They seem to have a nice web interface to Bacula cc-bacula. They also
mention that they have made a good number of bug fixes to Bacula (too bad
they are apparently not submitting them to the bugs database). Does
anyone know where the source of their changes are? I cannot seem to find
them -- the only thing I find are the ISOs. I've sent an email request
to their support just a few minutes ago requesting the source.
If they are releasing code that is a derivative work of Bacula without
releasing the source code, wouldn't that be a GPL violation?
They have clearly labeled the packages as Bacula, which is fine with me, and
although I couldn't initially find the code on their site, it does exist, and
they quickly told me where to find it.
They are after all a commercial firm, which is fine with me, so one doesn't
expect them to put the source code download in huge letters. What counts is
the source code is there, and we can have access to it.
Also, isn't "Bacula" trademarked? That also would discourage anyone
from violating even the spirit in which Bacula exists.
The name Bacula is trademarked, but anyone can use it providing the package
they distribute works the same way as the officially released version (not
including the bugs) :-).
