NASA‑proven Bacula Enterprise, fully hardened and continuously managed with security best practices, proactive monitoring, and expert support – you keep full data ownership and control.
Bacula is the world's most reliable backup platform. But managing it shouldn't require a dedicated team of experts.
Installing Bacula correctly isn't straightforward. The documentation is comprehensive but dense. There are dozens of configuration options, security decisions to make, and best practices to follow. Most teams end up with installations that work, but they're not optimized, not hardened, and vulnerable to security issues they don't even know about. Getting it wrong is easy. Getting it right requires expertise.
Default Bacula installations miss critical security hardening. Operating system configuration, firewall rules, authentication mechanisms, encryption settings — there are so many security decisions to make. Without expert knowledge, you risk exposing your backup system to attacks, data breaches, or compliance violations. Security isn't something you can 'figure out later' with backups.
Your team is already busy. Adding 'Bacula expert' and 'backup system administrator' to the job descriptions isn't realistic. Most companies don't have dedicated backup staff, which means someone else has to squeeze it in between other responsibilities. When problems arise at 2 AM, who gets called? That burden shouldn't fall on overworked staff.
Bacula requires regular updates. The operating system needs security patches. Dependencies need attention. Configuration needs optimization as your infrastructure grows. This isn't a 'set it and forget it' system. Neglecting maintenance leads to security vulnerabilities, performance problems, and eventual failures when you need backups most.
Regulations like NIS2, NIST, and DORA require organisations to demonstrate that their backup and recovery processes meet strict standards. Configuring Bacula to satisfy audit requirements, maintain immutable audit logs, enforce encryption, and document recovery procedures is a significant undertaking. Our stack brings everything together so your backup infrastructure is compliance-ready out of the box — no gaps, no guesswork.
We've taken enterprise-grade Bacula and wrapped it with professional management, security hardening, and expert support. When you work with faaleoleo, you're not just getting software — you're getting a complete backup solution managed by people who know Bacula inside and out. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.
We don't just install Bacula — we install a security-hardened Bacula system. We handle OS hardening, firewall configuration, authentication setup, encryption configuration, and security best practices. Every system is built according to NIST guidelines and industry security standards. We keep your operating system patched with the latest security updates. You get a Bacula installation you can trust, built by people who understand security.
No complex installation process. No weeks of configuration. We provide you with a pre-hardened, ready-to-deploy Bacula image customized for your environment. You deploy it, point it at your data sources, and you're protecting data within minutes. No deep Bacula knowledge required. No configuration files to decipher. It just works, exactly how you need it to work.
You're not talking to a chatbot or reading FAQ articles. You have access to actual Bacula experts who understand your specific situation. Whether you need help with configuration, troubleshooting, optimization, or strategic consulting, we're here. We've built deep expertise across thousands of Bacula deployments and we bring that experience to your backup strategy.
We manage all the updates. Security patches, Bacula updates, OS maintenance, dependency updates — we handle it all. You get notified when new hardened images are available, and you can deploy them at your convenience with a simple process. No more manual patch management. No more wondering if you're running the latest security patches. We stay on top of it.
Every organization is different. We can build custom Bacula images tailored to your specific requirements, integrations, and workflows. Whether you need specific plugins, custom configurations, integration with your existing tools, or specialized backup strategies, we build it for you.
Start small, grow large. Our approach scales from protecting a handful of servers to protecting thousands. As your infrastructure grows, your backup system grows with you seamlessly. We're also developing fully-managed hosting options for organizations that want us to host their Bacula system completely.
Transparent Pricing: You pay a flat subscription fee. No per-CPU charges that scale with growth. No data volume fees that multiply with your data. No surprise bills when you exceed some arbitrary limit. Our pricing is straightforward and stays that way as your business grows.
No Lock-in: Your data is yours. You're never trapped by proprietary formats or locked into a single vendor. If you ever decide to go a different direction, your data and your backup strategy remain fully portable. You're in control.
You Control Your Data: Your backup data lives where you want it. On your infrastructure. In your data center. In your cloud account. You control where your backups are stored, who has access, and how they're protected. Complete ownership and control.
Enterprise Reliability: You get the reliability that NASA, major banks, and Fortune 500 companies depend on, but simplified for businesses that don't have dedicated backup staff. It's not a compromise between power and simplicity — it's both, together.
Every solution we ship — not just this one, every one — goes through the same rigorous automated quality process before it ever reaches your environment. This is not optional. It is how we work.
When a managed service provider deploys something manually, they are betting your infrastructure on the engineer who happened to be on call that day. We removed that bet. Our entire delivery framework is version-controlled, tested, and validated automatically on every release. You get the same hardened, verified system whether it is your first deployment or your fiftieth.
Every configuration file, every template, every script is automatically checked for errors before it leaves the development environment. Nothing broken ships.
We run a complete installation of your environment in an isolated test container — with your exact configuration — before any change reaches production. If it does not pass, it does not ship.
Every release is automatically scanned for known vulnerabilities in the toolchain. We do not rely on humans to remember to check — the pipeline refuses to pass if a CVE is found.
Every Bacula configuration is tested with the daemon's own syntax checker before deployment. Not "it looks right" — the system itself confirms it is valid.
Nothing reaches your environment without a signed, tagged release. You always know exactly what version you are running and you can verify it independently.
Every release produces a full report: what was tested, what passed, what was scanned, what changed. You have evidence of due diligence without asking for it.
This is not a feature you pay extra for.
It is the baseline standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement, regardless of size or plan.
First, we have a conversation. We want to understand your current backup challenges, your infrastructure, your compliance requirements, your growth plans, and your specific needs. We'll discuss how many servers need protection, what types of data you're backing up, where your data needs to be stored, and what your recovery requirements are. This isn't a generic sales pitch — it's a real assessment of your situation so we can tailor a solution that's perfect for you.
Based on our conversation, we'll create a customized Bacula image — pre-hardened, pre-configured, and ready for your infrastructure. You deploy it to your environment (whether that's your data center, your cloud account, or our managed hosting). We'll walk you through the deployment process, which is typically straightforward. Once it's live, you configure it to point at your data sources. We'll help you optimize the configuration for your specific infrastructure.
From here on, we manage the complexity. We monitor your backup system for issues. We apply security updates automatically. We notify you when new hardened images are available and help you deploy them smoothly. If you need consulting on backup strategy, recovery planning, capacity planning, or system optimization, we're here. You're protected, secure, and you can focus on your core business instead of worrying about whether your backups are working.
