Bacula is a set of Open Source,
computer programs that permit you (or the system
administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification
of computer data across a network of computers of different
kinds.
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while
offering many advanced storage management features that make
it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.
In technical terms, it is an Open Source, network based backup program.
According to Source Forge statistics (rank and downloads),
Bacula is by far the most popular Open Source program backup program.
