This will probably never happen due to the FHS rules pointed by Sven. I even spoke with him about that topic in the past. *Maybe* with a very special agreement with the Debian Community such as the one they made with RedHat (I heard of, couldn't find it) to make a few things standard (such as the systemd services). > In light of the wide spread attacks of ransomware, it is even more important > to > ensure that restoration of Bacula is simple and easy.

Ref.: <https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/> Bacula is one of the top worldwide backup systems that runs on Linux. Running the Director and SD as the Linux bacula user is a builtin ransomware protection feature. IMHO bacula.org should advertise that and advise all users to only provide disk volumes write permissions to the bacula user. IMHO 2, the state-of-the-art will be when Bacula automatically set the closed volumes (used, full, readonly, archive, disabled) as immutable (chattr +i). Then, not even the root user could encrypt the disk volumes.
