Comment: I don't think that the 3 sources meet Wikipedia's inclusion requirements. AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 15:39, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe that sources meeting these criteria are already present in the article but may have been overlooked among the others, or because they are in German: 1, 2, 3. Soimuldacic (talk)
- Comment: To meet Wikipedia's strict inclusion requirements for companies, we require sources that provide deep and significant coverage and are strictly independent of the company itself. Coverage in industry publications is also given more limited weight than coverage in mainstream sources. At this stage I don't see sources that meet each of those criteria in your draft.

Bacula Systems SA is a Swiss software company that develops enterprise data backup and recovery software.[1][2][3]
History
editThe company was founded in 2008 in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.[1] The foundation was backed by Kern Sibbald, who assumed the roles of CTO and Chairman, and 7 other Bacula developers.[3]
Same year, it partnered with Mandriva, a French Linux distributor.[1]
In June 2011, Bacula Systems completed a CHF 4.5 million financing round to expand its commercial operations.[4] KM Capital Partners and DEV, the Swiss Canton of Vaud's Economic Development agency, were among the investors.[4]
In October of the same year, the company appointed a new chief executive officer, Frank Barker.[5]
In 2015, the broadcaster Sky deployed Bacula Enterprise as part of its backup and recovery infrastructure.[6]
In 2019, the company received a patent related to deduplication techniques in backup and recovery software.[7][8]
In 2020, the company earned a Top Rated award from the review platform TrustRadius for its backup and recovery software.[9]
In 2024, Bacula Systems SA started working with a network of German universities (Ulm, Konstanz, and Tübingen), managing backup operations for them.[10][11] The company is also working with American universities, such as University of Washington,[12] Georgia Institute of Technology,[13] and the University of North Texas.[14]
In 2024, the company announced new backup and recovery features for large HPC clusters at the ISC 2024 conference.[15][16] The following year, Bacula introduced an HPCAccelerator feature to increase backup throughput.[17][18]
Operations
editBacula Systems SA is privately held and registered in Switzerland.[19][20] In 2018, it established a U.S. subsidiary, Bacula Systems Corporation, with a Florida registration.[21][22]
Bacula (open-source)
editBacula is a free and open-source, enterprise-class backup suite for heterogeneous networks. It automates scheduled backups, verification, and restores that previously often required manual operator involvement.[10][11] Bacula provides cross-platform backup clients for Linux, Unix, Windows, and macOS, and supports professional storage targets such as disk and tape libraries. Administration can be performed via command-line tools, graphical interfaces, or a web console, with a central catalog typically backed by MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.[10][11] Industry surveys regularly list Bacula among notable open-source backup and storage platforms.[23][24]
Bacula Enterprise
editBacula Enterprise is the company's proprietary edition oriented to enterprise deployments, with vendor support and additional features beyond the community version.[1] In 2009, the company released Bacula Enterprise Edition 2.7. The software supports Linux, Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, can back up to tape drives, hard drives, and robotic media libraries, and offers cluster capabilities.[25]
The company’s products support automated backup for Docker, [26] backup and recovery for Kubernetes, compatible with Tanzu and Rancher environments, [27][28] and include cloud backup targets such as Microsoft Azure.[29][25]
Version 14 of Bacula Enterprise extended its technology reach to Nutanix teams and Proxmox environments.[30]
As of October 2025, the latest version company released is 18.0.9.[31]
