    Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8 is a highly scalable backup and recovery software for
data centers and MSP's. Directly answering the IT industry's challenge of exploding data
volume with a low cost subscription model that does not charge by data volume, Bacula
System's latest software release with integrated cloud features makes it far easier to
predict costs - especially when recovering data from the cloud. It builds further on an
especially customizable and flexible backup and restore solution that is relevant to both
modest and large sized data centers.

    The main features of Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8 are:

       
        - Integrated backup and restore with both public and private clouds via the S3
          interface
        - Granular control over data that needs to be restored from the cloud, significantly
          reducing operational exposure to cloud costs and boosting business agility
        - A broad range of functionality throughout the entire platform designed to integrate
          physical and virtual environments with public, private and hybrid cloud data transfers,
          allowing more predictable costs
        - Faster backup and restores to and from the cloud, at the lowest cost

    "Because of the way cloud costs are structured, data centers need a new way to manage
data recovery from the cloud. As physical, virtual and cloud combined backup strategies
become more commonplace, the opportunity to have a single backup and recovery platform
that can do it all is proving especially attractive to large enterprises, research
laboratories, large hosting centers, and universities around the world, who need to find
modern solutions that both limit costs and increase the predictability of costs" said
Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula Systems.
