Quite so...

This, frankly, sounds dubious... Full copyright is not telling me 
anything. Doe you mean "all rights reserved"?

In this particular case, I see a very specific solution, seems to be a 
combination of incremental accelerator where you try to use the change 
tracking to also react to bulk changes. Good idea, in a way, although I 
doubt it will work reliably. However, that's not based on actual 
knowledge as I have not tried your plugin/add-on.

Do you intend to make those visible?

Fair enough in some respect, although I must admit I don't see how your 
Bacula Enterprise Appliance can be competitive. I also think your 
references are to a large extent not yours, but from Bacula Systems. The 
same for all the plugins you mention.

Excellent. For testing in my lab, I'd appreciate a .deb for Debian 12 or 13.

And now I'm really disappointed... does this imply I'm conversing with 
an AI, not a person now?

Looking forward to clarifications,

Arno
