Thanks for the advice : I chose to install Bacula (9.4.2) on Linux Mint 20.2 (fork of Ubuntu/Debian) from it's Software Manager. Files have been installed in locate bacula|grep bin/
/usr/sbin/bacula-console /usr/sbin/bacula-dir /usr/sbin/bacula-fd /usr/sbin/bacula-sd /usr/sbin/bacula-tray-monitor GUI works and is connecting Director but Backup NOT yet tested, I'll keep you posted if you're interested. I think my next step is to find how to start PostgreSQL... Cheers, Marc.
