Developed by Switzerland-based Bacula Systems, it protects physical, virtual, container, database, SaaS and cloud workloads through one centrally managed platform.
Keep backup data and recovery operations under your control. Bacula supports fully on-premises deployment without mandatory cloud control planes, call-home licensing or continuous internet connectivity. Organizations can retain control over storage location, infrastructure, encryption keys and recovery procedures to support data sovereignty and operational independence.
Build layered ransomware resilience with physically air-gapped tape and offline copies, immutable storage options, encryption, multi-factor authentication, granular access controls and file integrity verification. Security capabilities can be configured around defense, critical infrastructure and other sensitive environments.
For petabyte-scale HPC and research datasets, Bacula offers HPC Accelerator, parallel backup processing and integrations with Lustre, GPFS and ZFS. Protect large file populations while combining disk, tape libraries, object storage and cloud targets. Licensing is not based on protected data volume.
Virtualization and cloud VM coverage includes VMware vSphere/ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox, Nutanix AHV, XenServer, XCP-ng, KVM, QEMU, Libvirt, Red Hat Virtualization, OpenStack, Amazon EC2 and Azure VMs. Container protection covers Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift and Docker.

PhotoRec
PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. For more safety, PhotoRec uses read-only access to handle the drive or memory card you are about to recover lost data from. Important, as soon as a picture or file is accidentally deleted, or you discover any missing, do not save any more pictures or files to that memory device or hard disk drive; otherwise you may overwrite your lost data. This means that while using PhotoRec, you must not choose to write the recovered files to the same partition they were stored on. PhotoRec ignores the file system; this way it works even if the file system is severely damaged.
