It's clear you read the materia= l closely, so let me answer point by point.<br><br>PodHeitor vs NGBackup. Y= ou're conflating two different products (thanks for being my fan). PodH= eitor was built on Community Bacula and deprecated for the better stuff. NG= Backup is a from-scratch engine: 1,000+ Rust source files, zero C, memory-s= afe 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 "nothing has changed since PodHeitor" is si= mply wrong. Everything under the hood changed.<br><br>"Just repackaged= community plugins." Every NGBackup plugin is written in one standard = language, Rust, compiled and memory-safe. That is materially more performan= t and more serious than the open-ended PowerShell/Python/shell scripts that= other suites rely on for their plugins. Uniform tooling, no interpreter sp= rawl, no per-plugin runtime surprises. That is original engineering, not co= py-paste.<br><br>High availability. This is real HA, not file copying. NGBa= ckup runs an active/standby Director pair with product-managed catalog and = configuration replication. It supports automatic failover with witness quor= um and a split-brain guard, plus planned, unplanned, maintenance and test f= ailover modes, and failback with reverse sync. Calling that "SCP/SFTP = somewhere" is not accurate. It is a designed control-plane HA architec= ture, and it is exactly what enterprise backup HA is supposed to mean.<br><= br>Deduplication. There's nothing to misunderstand here. Any backup spe= cialist knows dedup ratios improve as more repetitive, retained backups acc= umulate. We state the industry-standard 20x, with some environments exceedi= ng 60x at higher retention and redundancy. That's a range tied to reten= tion, reported exactly the way every dedup vendor reports one. Not a lab tr= ick. Arithmetic.<br><br>Where else we are ahead of Bacula Enterprise:<br><b= r>A single control plane. Every daemon (Director, SD, FD) is remotely recon= figurable, reloadable and restartable from one place, including remote SD/F= D config edits with validation, atomic apply and rollback. Bacula has none = of this.<br>Config-as-data. Director configuration lives in the database as= immutable, versioned revisions. No config-file sprawl across daemons and p= lugins.<br>No clear-text passwords in files. Enrollment is token-based. Sec= rets are sealed, never written in plaintext to a .conf.<br>Modern and vastl= y more complete Web and console interfaces.<br>Mainframe / SAP HANA. We hav= e real customers running both in Brazil. The ADABAS plugin ships today. z/O= S binaries are being built. On SAP HANA specifically, the absence of a form= al certification badge doesn't mean the capability can't be deliver= ed. Certification is a commercial and partnership step, not a technical cei= ling. We have customers on it.<br>Bloom filters and segment locality in Ded= up for better performance.<br><br>Pricing. Enterprise backup is quote-based= across this market. Bacula Enterprise and the other vendors don't publ= ish price lists either. Ours is the same model, with a concrete migration d= iscount for teams leaving Veeam, Commvault or NetBackup.<br><br>On the &quo= t;copy-paste" thesis generally. A single Rust control plane, active/st= andby HA with automatic failover, config-as-data in the catalog, tokenized = enrollment with no plaintext secrets, and Rust-native plugins are not thing= s the community project offers. That is original design, and it's shipp= ing.<br><br>I'll note, since it's relevant to the tone here, that y= ou have a commercial relationship with Bacula Systems, and this critique ar= rives alongside messages on LinkedIn that I'd characterize as threats. = I'm glad to have a technical debate on the merits.
