Database Backup

It is crucial to back up a database correctly in an IT infrastructure and meeting backup policy needs is often critical. With its database management system (DBMS) tools, Bacula Systems brings industry-leading technology that sets the standard for enterprise-grade database backup software solutions far beyond its competitors. Bacula’s database technology is natively-integrated for especially high performance and additional features. Bacula Enterprise enables all businesses to take advantage of its especially powerful database backup tools. System administrators looking for robust, high-end enterprise database backup software should start here. And where ease and speed is required, these database backup tools also provide the answer for those system administrators working to tight deadlines. Remember: even within the most robust IT infrastructure, having a database go down is inevitable. Each time a database fails or is down, your customer’s satisfaction is jeopardized.

Ransomware Proofing

Ransomware has seriously impacted thousands of organizations worldwide, in over 150 countries. The frequency of ransomware attacks increased over 900% in 2020 and this unhappy trend is proving to continue through 2021 and 2022 – and with increasing sophistication. For example, some malware already exist that actually looks for weak backup systems and encrypts the backed up data itself. A complete cybersecurity strategy can only be confidently achieved using a backup and recovery system that has the capability to be properly secured. That means Bacula Enterprise. For an enterprise to sufficiently protect its backups from ransomware, advance preparation and thought is required. Data protection technology, backup best practices and staff training are critical for mitigating the business threatening disruption that ransomware attacks can inflict on an organization’s backup servers and computers. One of the best protections against such attacks is to have an enterprise-grade backup solution of correct architecture and use best-practice backup strategies, and to ensure any cloud backups are adequately protected and available.

Backup Security

Bacula’s extreme flexibility to adapt and fit into a user environment without compromise inherently aids that organization’s security, and cannot be underestimated. Bacula’s modular architecture does not need, nor indeed allows two way communications between its individual elements, which removes the fundamental security vulnerabilities in one stroke that most of its competitors suffer from. Bacula’s exceptional security qualities are multiplied exponentially by the simple fact that although Bacula can protect practically any data from any operating system, its core engine runs on Linux. As a result, it is significantly more secure than its peers.
