Do the math on your current backup. There’s probably a line that grows on its own every year: the capacity license — you pay per protected terabyte, and your data only goes up. It’s the model of most proprietary solutions, and it turns backup into a subscription that never stops climbing.
Bacula and BareOS break that logic. They’re open-source software (AGPLv3): the per-TB license is zero. You don’t pay for capacity — not for 10 TB, not for 10 PB.
So what do you pay for?
Only what actually creates value: a well-done deployment and support/training for your team. Proprietary backup charges for those two as well — and then stacks the per-terabyte license on top. Removing the license from the equation completely changes the 3-to-5-year TCO.
- No capacity ceiling: grow your data without renegotiating a contract.
- No lock-in: open formats, no vendor hostage.
- Enterprise standard: Bacula is the most widely used open-source backup software in the world.
And when you need enterprise features — immutability, global deduplication, Microsoft 365 backup, a high-performance File Daemon — PodHeitor Backup adds all of it in Rust, still without the capacity-license trap.
I’m Heitor Faria, MSc in Applied Computing (UnB), author of the Bacula book and PodHeitor lead developer. I’ve migrated dozens of companies off expensive proprietary solutions to this model.
