Hello most vendors use the established compression methods like using zlib/gzip under the surface, so i doubt you will see much of difference between different vendors. Regarding the number of clients and concurrency it all depends. Bacula does not bother the clients regularly but only in case there is something to do, so your only problem will be to manage the clients/jobs (text based config file) and handle concurrency while doing backup jobs. As far as i know the Storage Daemon will be the "hot-spot" because it will use one thread per client backup running and of course your OS must be able to handle some thousand TCP connections. That said you could also split the load to a number of Storage Daemons and only use a central Director. With this the next "hot-spot" will be the Director Database managing the file metadata. In any way you should consider to get professional help from Baculasystems (www.baculasystems.com) with this target scale.
