What is your easy definition? =) I recorded some video classes that may help you if you go with the community version: http://bacula.us/video-classes/ > - Synthetic Backups which I assume is Virtual Backups in Bacula Yes. But on BE it is a improved feature: http://www.baculasystems.com/products/bacula-enterprise/features/progressive-virtual-full > - Encryption at rest and in transit I think they are the same in both versions and it takes some time and understanding, configuring and generating the keys. I think it's slightly easier with Enterprise BE Bweb interface. > - 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. > - Deduplication BE global deduplication goes further than the Community one because of block level instead of file level dedup, good for large files that always changes [E.g.: database dumps, VM images etc. - http://www.baculasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/bacula-enterprise-v8-global-endpoint-deduplication4.pdf]. I think it is also possible to replicate Bacula storage data and only sync modified blocks. > Last, is setup of the above easier and performance more robust in Bacula > Enterprise? They are basically different features. It always depend of the size of your data center, business needs, service and operational agreements. Probably a BE consultant can help you better at your decision. > Best regards, > -craig Regards, =========================================================================== Heitor Medrado de Faria - LPIC-III | ITIL-F | Bacula Systems Certified Administrator II Do you need Bacula training? https://www.udemy.com/bacula-backup-software/?couponCode=bacula-list I do Bacula training and deploy in any city of the world.
