Hi, Completely agree regarding Baculum and Bacularis, which are really great projects giving “almost” full controls on Bacula.
Really sad to know BAT isn’t maintained anymore. Regarding last Heitor’s comment, sorry but I somehow disagree, and the reason is not because I’m maintaining Bacula-Web project since 2010. Simple reason, leave community users the freedom to choose whatever tool they want to use with Bacula. Text based, web based, etc. It doesn’t matter, it’s each community user choice in the end. Simple principle of GNU and open source. Btw, I have a list of non official GUI tool for Bacula, and some are still maintained. Including webacula fork which is available on GitHub ;) Best, Davide On Fri, 2 Feb 2024 at 16:54 Heitor Faria <hei...@bacula.com.br> wrote: > "*Having said that, years ago, I had customers that LOVE LOVE LOVED BAT, > and would not move away from it even at my urging, so > there is one reason, I guess. :)" > > Frankly, I never understood this community's urge to regularly create "one > more Bacula GUI", instead of just fixing and improve the state-of-art. > IMHO bacula.org should adopt and sponsor BAT and Bacularis/Baculum GUIs > development, get people together, integrate bacula-web features and > organize this mess. > > Rgds. > > Get BlueMail for Android <https://bluemail.me> > On Feb 2, 2024, at 10:32 AM, Bill Arlofski via Bacula-users < > bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: >> >> On 2/2/24 05:48, Rob Gerber wrote: >> >>> >>> As far as I know, BAT is available only with enterprise bacula. >>> >> >> Hello Rob, (and Howard Viccars), >> >> BAT (Bacula Administration Tool) is a long-unmaintained QT graphical >> interface to 'manage' Bacula and is available in Community. >> >> I say 'manage' because BAT is more like BMT (Bacula Management Tool) since >> you cannot configure anything using BAT, you can >> only start, stop, monitor jobs and view information about your system >> (Clients, Jobs, Pools, Media, etc) just like with >> bconsole. :) >> >> >> I believe your choices with regard to bacula community are baculum, >> bacularis, and bacula-web. >>> >>> Bacularis is a friendly fork of baculum, and is the better maintained >>> package.
