We are not here to discuss my business at all. This is about the product =
you are trying to sell.

Heitor, you have tried very hard to convince people about your new produc=
t, which is essentially a recompiled or migrated Bacula Community version=
 rewritten in Rust. Based on your own public and shared documents, it is =
very easy to see what it actually does and what it is capable of. There a=
re simply many wrong design decisions and incorrect implementations.

Just for the record: an AI is only as good as the person using it.

I will give only one example from your own documentation that clearly sho=
ws how useless some of the promises are that you make. Your anti-ransomwa=
re feature performs several =E2=80=9Cchecks=E2=80=9D and then, after some=
 amount of time (if I remember correctly, about 30 minutes), it shuts dow=
n the share. After 30 minutes the attacker has all the time in the world =
to do their damage while you go and grab a coffee and wait for the disast=
er to complete.

Should I quote your own email to me after I pointed this out=3F Do you re=
member your answer=3F You explicitly said it cannot replace a real ransom=
ware protection solution. So why are you promoting it as such=3F You know=
 your software cannot do what you promise, but you still market it as a c=
ore feature. In some parts of the world people call this a scam or fraud.=
 When someone sells a technology under false pretenses, that is at least =
unethical and in some jurisdictions even criminal.
The same applies to your =E2=80=9Csuper HA=E2=80=9D solution, including t=
he SAP example you like to use. This is all based on your own publicly sh=
ared information. Now, suddenly, you come up with a different story.

If you try to sell a weak product, then at the very least the product sho=
uld be finished, you should have done your homework, and you should not t=
alk about customers you do not actually have. But maybe I am wrong and Br=
azil has just been waiting for your solution. However, from my experience=
 in Brazil, your software would need to be genuinely open source, not =E2=
=80=9Cfake source=E2=80=9D, to be taken seriously.

I know what I am talking about. I assume you are familiar with the Brazil=
ian federal open source migration guide (=E2=80=9CGuia Livre: Refer=C3=AA=
ncia de Migra=C3=A7=C3=A3o para Software Livre do Governo =46ederal=E2=80=
=9D), aren=E2=80=99t you=3F I received a copy years ago because of my con=
tributions.

The question still stands: why are you trying to sell this here=3F This i=
s a Bacula mailing list, not an NGbackup marketing channel. If you want t=
o promote your product, maybe your YouTube channel is the right place for=
 that. Just put in 500 coins and you will quickly reach 1,000 followers.

When I use Bacula, I use the Enterprise edition, and I am quite sure you =
cannot seriously compare your product with any of the established enterpr=
ise solutions on the market.

lear you read the material closely, so let me answer point by point.<br><=
br>PodHeitor vs NGBackup. You're conflating two different products (thank=
s for being my fan). PodHeitor was built on Community Bacula and deprecat=
ed for the better stuff. NGBackup is a from-scratch engine: 1,000+ Rust s=
ource files, zero C, memory-safe by construction. That's not a marketing =
adjective. It's why the whole class of memory-corruption CVEs that legacy=
 engines keep publishing cannot occur here. So =22nothing has changed sin=
ce PodHeitor=22 is simply wrong. Everything under the hood changed.<br><b=
r>=22Just repackaged community plugins.=22 Every NGBackup plugin is writt=
en in one standard language, Rust, compiled and memory-safe. That is mate=
rially more performant and more serious than the open-ended PowerShell/Py=
thon/shell scripts that other suites rely on for their plugins. Uniform t=
ooling, no interpreter sprawl, no per-plugin runtime surprises. That is o=
riginal engineering, not copy-paste.<br><br>High availability. This is re=
al HA, not file copying. NGBackup runs an active/standby Director pair wi=
th product-managed catalog and configuration replication. It supports aut=
omatic failover with witness quorum and a split-brain guard, plus planned=
, unplanned, maintenance and test failover modes, and failback with rever=
se sync. Calling that =22SCP/S=46TP somewhere=22 is not accurate. It is a=
 designed control-plane HA architecture, and it is exactly what enterpris=
e backup HA is supposed to mean.<br><br>Deduplication. There's nothing to=
 misunderstand here. Any backup specialist knows dedup ratios improve as =
more repetitive, retained backups accumulate. We state the industry-stand=
ard 20x, with some environments exceeding 60x at higher retention and red=
undancy. That's a range tied to retention, reported exactly the way every=
 dedup vendor reports one. Not a lab trick. Arithmetic.<br><br>Where else=
 we are ahead of Bacula Enterprise:<br><br>A single control plane. Every =
daemon (Director, SD, =46D) is remotely reconfigurable, reloadable and re=
startable from one place, including remote SD/=46D config edits with vali=
dation, atomic apply and rollback. Bacula has none of this.<br>Config-as-=
data. Director configuration lives in the database as immutable, versione=
d revisions. No config-file sprawl across daemons and plugins.<br>No clea=
r-text passwords in files. Enrollment is token-based. Secrets are sealed,=
 never written in plaintext to a .conf.<br>Modern and vastly more complet=
e Web and console interfaces.<br>Mainframe / SAP HANA. We have real custo=
mers running both in Brazil. The ADABAS plugin ships today. z/OS binaries=
 are being built. On SAP HANA specifically, the absence of a formal certi=
fication badge doesn't mean the capability can't be delivered. Certificat=
ion is a commercial and partnership step, not a technical ceiling. We hav=
e customers on it.<br>Bloom filters and segment locality in Dedup for bet=
ter performance.<br><br>Pricing. Enterprise backup is quote-based across =
this market. Bacula Enterprise and the other vendors don't publish price =
lists either. Ours is the same model, with a concrete migration discount =
for teams leaving Veeam, Commvault or NetBackup.<br><br>On the =22copy-pa=
ste=22 thesis generally. A single Rust control plane, active/standby HA w=
ith automatic failover, config-as-data in the catalog, tokenized enrollme=
nt with no plaintext secrets, and Rust-native plugins are not things the =
community project offers. That is original design, and it's shipping.<br>=
<br>I'll note, since it's relevant to the tone here, that you have a comm=
ercial relationship with Bacula Systems, and this critique arrives alongs=
ide messages on LinkedIn that I'd characterize as threats. I'm glad to ha=
