As someone who does not have a horse in this race, I can't say I do much prefer 
to have some idea of ballpark of price before speaking to someone. It seems a 
shame to me to initiate a process which generates a quote and to find out that 
the quote is going to be $100,000 when all I have is $10k, or something like 
that. Maybe there is some advantage there, because a sales person can work with 
people individually, but it is nice to let people have a rough idea. However, I 
am not an enterprise customer. Perhaps they think completely opposite for all I 
know.

Thanks for all you do.

Re: [Bacula-users] Capabilities of Bacula 7.0.5

2015-10-20 Thread Kern Sibbald 
Well the best way to get what you want is to take contact with Bacula
Systems.  All professional salesmen "qualify" potential customers very
quickly to see if there is a match between budget and a rough estimate
of the cost of any product.

If you go to:

  http://www.baculasystems.com/support/subscriptions

you will see what product range you fit into -- then just follow the
links and the salesmen will quickly give you an idea of the cost.

If I remember right prices run from a few thousand dollars for a small
site to approximately $50-100K for a large site, but I suspect that you
will be on the low end.  In addition, Universities usually get a better
deal, which is why it is better to talk to someone.

Best regards,
Kern

Well, did you try to find prices at IBM webpage for its products? When you
click a BUY then you need to ask for a quotation. No prices available on
the website. The Bacula Systems is not an online business.

Your point of view seems to me to be a bit too pessimistic.  Bacula
Systems is a company that (for the moment) is competing with big
companies in the enterprise market such as EMC, Symantec, IBM, HP, and
...  Bacula Systems is doing quite well in that market and has been
consistently growing at about 65% in revenues each year since its
creation, consequently the future of Bacula Systems looks quite bright.
The rather standard way of dealing with pricing seems to be more an
advantage rather than a hindrance at least in the Enterprise market.

Then to extrapolate a positive Bacula Systems corporate financial future
to the "end of a great open source project" is a pretty big leap that
does not appear to me to be reasonable.  In addition, as long a Bacula
Systems continues to create new code for the Bacula Enterprise version,
the community version will continue to grow and evolve with the
migration of Enterprise code to the community.  Even without Bacula
Systems, though it would be harder, Bacula community can do quite well.

Heitor has already responded concerning the above items.

> Bacula Enterprise?

For the above item, yes, Bacula Enterprise is currently easier to setup
for several reasons:
- There are more GUI tools such as BWeb where it can do graphical
configuration of Bacula
- There are rpms, debs, ... for all common systems and OSes.
- There are more white papers
- Bacula Systems world-class support personnel provide as much aid as
necessary to get you up and running with correct conf files.

Yes, Bacula Enterprise has a good number of performance enhancements
that are not yet available in the community version.  These enhancements
are mainly (not wholly) for large enterprise installations with large
number of clients/files to backup.

As a sidenote, for systems holding user data or applications I could
replicate I was using the bacula client in the virtual machine, just
like a physical one.

The solution I described was used for machines which anyway I wanted to
recover as "whole boxes". Examples are microsoft domain controllers or
machines on which there was some legacy software installed which noone
in the company knew how to reinstall from scratch anyway.

At previous work I was able to backup vmware VMs snapshots and could
just restore the files and connect those to newly created VMs.

I was using this to copy snapshots to an NFS volume:

https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB

After getting the snapshots to NFS I just made bacula backup that to the
tape library. Backups done in this way tend to be big, and no
incremental strategy applies, since they always are new files.

Similar strategies can be applied to other visualization technologies.

If you buy the specific VM backup plugin yes. Including block level incremental 
backups of the VM. 
However for file level restores it is still advisable to install Bacula Clients 
in each one of the VM (threat them as physical machines).

The plugin can recreate the machines automatically when restoring.

Is there a page to find the prices of these plugins? I looked but couldn't find 
any, and I never buy from companies that don't list prices. When online 
businesses make you contact them for prices, it means you can't afford them...--

Hello "Compdoc": I don't think it is the reason for that. The pricing relies in 
the number of clients, selected plugins and they have special condition for 
ISP. BE is usually more inexpensive than other software and they have no backup 
size or plugin usage limitations. But I don't work for them and really don't 
know the public pricing or conditions for your country. I think if you contact 
them they will provide with all information you need:

Thank you, Heitor!  The information is much appreciated.

Re:

- Bare Metal Restores - however, I'm not sure if this is still in
development

I had no news from BMR in Bacula community version for such a long time,
probably because virtualization is increasingly popular and it's much
easier to backup a full VM for disaster recovery purposes. I know BE has a
improved and easier version of BMR for Windows and Linux however.

Does this mean that Bacula Enterprise can backup a VM, meaning the actual
vmdks that make it up (all filesystems) and restore the VM?  Or, do you
mean it can backup all the data on the VM and to restore the host if it was
destroyed, the VM has to be re-created and then BE restores the data?  If
the former, that would be great!

Thanks again!

[Bacula-users] Capabilities of Bacula 7.0.5

2015-10-16 Thread Craig Shiroma 
Hello,

Looking over the manual, it appears open source Bacula 7.0.5 can do the
following. However,  I'd like to confirm via this list if possible just to
make sure I didn't misunderstand something.  Also, are they easy to setup
and is performance good?

- Synthetic Backups which I assume is Virtual Backups in Bacula
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Bare Metal Restores - however, I'm not sure if this is still in
development
- Deduplication

Last, is setup of the above easier and performance more robust in Bacula
Enterprise?

Best regards,
