Oh no, I gave you wrong information. I'm sorry.

I don't think they email you. After you submit your name and email address,
the followup page that loads has the repo link in the middle of the page It
says " You may now access the bacula binaries located here (please bookmark
this link)." where "here" is your own custom repo link. The link will be in
format https://www.bacula.org/packages/abc123

I clicked through on the link it gave me, and found that they have a
package named "bacula-client" that appears to be what you're looking for.
look in
https://www.bacula.org/packages/YOURSTRINGHERE/debs/BACULAVERSIONOFYOURCHOICE/dists/ONEOFTHEAVAILABLEDEBIANORUBUNTUVERSIONS/

So sorry for the incorrect information.

FYI release notes for bacula 13.x say:

As always, both the Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded at
the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
or Storage daemon must be of the same version.

Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 13.0 Director and Storage

I highly recommend browsing through the repo in your web browser of choice
to read the release notes and see what packages are available, what debian
OS variants are supported for each bacula version number, etc.

It looks like bacula 13.x the newest debian version they support is
11/bullseye. It should be fine to use that repo for your Debian 12
system, but be sure to verify yourself just to be sure.

Robert Gerber
