I'm pretty sure Centos 7 isn't EOL until 2024. It was Centos 8 that was
cut off. AFAIK, Red Hat has made no mention of shortening the Centos 7
life cycle.
I have been moving Centos 8 installs to Rocky Linux without any
problems. Bacula RPMs for el8 install and run fine on Rocky. Rocky is a
RHEL-based distro created in response to Red Hat's decision to abandon
Centos core. It is led by original CentOS Project founder Gregory
Kurtzer and already has a large following and major sponsors like Google
and AWS. It seems to be an exact-fit Centos replacement so far.

If you had a choice, on which system would you install bacula and why ?
These are OSes I'm familiar with in order or preference :
lint Mint (20, fork of Ubuntu/Debian), CentOS 7 (free version of
RHEL), Windows 10 (Desktop), DragonFly BSD (fork of freeBSD), Windows
Server 2012 R2.
Any advice or suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance, Marc.
Well, Solaris 11.4, but I am an ancient BOFH and know my Operating
Systems.
What ever you go with, go with a recent version - Centos 7 is out of
support, so you should get Centos 8.x, frex. (But Centos is going to
be problematic soon, as well. Sigh.)
And Windows is only available as a File Daemon, that means it's a
machine to be backed up, not one that manages scheduling or storage,
(as in runs the Director or Storage Daemon).
Oh, and I would also advise building from source, because that way you
get the right thing, not, as is sometimes the case, what someone who
is convinced they are much cleverer than everybody else has decided on.
Cheers,
