[ale] Opensource Enterprise Backups

[Lightner, Jeff]

Anyone using one of these like Bacula or Amanda that would care to comment on the following?

>From what I saw yesterday it appears Bacula supports most of the things we do now with Netbackup such as Windows MSSQL, Hyper-V,  Oracle RMAN,  UNIX, Linux and Windows clients.   It also has plugins for Postgres and MySQL I think (NetBackup doesn't have direct plugins for these like it does RMAN and MSSQL).

Can anyone comment on how well any of that works for them?

What is overall licensing costing you for the various plugins and for using shared tape library and deduplication appliances?

How you do vaulting (i.e. duplicating images to tape to be sent off site)?    I know about offsite replication for deduplication units but we aren't doing that so please don't suggest it.

Anything else you'd like to share on use of OpenSource backup products.

Note:
We will NOT be doing a setup wherein we just do tar or rsync or some other home brewed solution.   I'm asking about a full enterprise solutions for hundreds of physical servers and/or virtual guests.
