Heitor,

I think it would be good to reconsider how you present your product in th=
is context. The discussion has escalated quite a bit, and it probably doe=
s not help to showcase your solution in the best way.

It is also not entirely clear why you chose to present this product here,=
 since it does not seem to be directly related to Bacula Backup and may t=
herefore be somewhat out of place.

In addition, your long=E2=80=91term role as a Bacula Systems partner, app=
arently selling the software successfully for years, raises questions abo=
ut why you now describe it in such negative terms.

You should also be aware that public attacks against a company and indivi=
dual members, especially when they contain strong accusations, can in som=
e jurisdictions be viewed as defamation and potentially lead to legal act=
ion, depending on the applicable law and whether the statements are demon=
strably false and harmful.
