I am playing with "bacula". I had no idea that it was so advanced, and widely used. My big thing is I need something to replace "bru" (I bought it around 2005). I needed to add binary-compatibility to the kernel config. Bru allows comparison so I dont get caught off-guard.
I find the config stuff for bacula intimidating -- not used to the /bin/ksh stuff. I program mainly in PERL. I recall bru required me to make two named-pipes and set one device name in the config file...
