Dicas-L — founded by Rubens Queiroz de Almeida at Unicamp in 1997, the informal school of generations of Brazilian sysadmins — published a technical review of NGBackup, the Brazilian data-protection platform written in Rust.
Mounting whole VM disks with unsupported tooling mid-outage is gambling. NGBackup opens a 17 GB VM image in ~1.3 s and streams the file out in 0.6 s — no disk mounting, no agents, SHA-256 verified.
Proprietary backup charges by capacity — and the bill grows every year along with your data. See why Bacula and BareOS zero out the per-TB license and how to migrate at low cost.
The 3-2-1 rule became a standard for a reason — but ransomware learned to bypass it. Meet the 3-2-1-1-0 evolution and how to deploy it with Bacula, BareOS and PodHeitor.
Over 100 classes in a decade training the teams that protect Brazil's data. Meet the in-company Bacula / BareOS / PodHeitor training — 24h, with real deployment.
It's not a question of IF, but WHEN. Here's why tested, immutable backup is the only insurance policy that actually works against ransomware — and how to deploy it at low cost with Bacula, BareOS and PodHeitor.
PodHeitor has just delivered another Bacularis + Bacula Community training engagement to the Brazilian Navy. Certified instructor on the three leading open-source backup stacks — we deliver Training, Deployment and 24×7 Support for PodHeitor Backup, Bacula/Bacularis and Bareos. Is your organization next?
Native Rust component of the PodHeitor Backup Server, now at v1.0 GA, for backing up Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Optional CDC with 60s RPO, HMAC-SHA256 signed GDPR right-to-be-forgotten audit, embedded Prometheus /metrics. 2.2 MB binary, under 150 MB RAM per job, 220 tests passing. v1.0 delivers full capture and extraction to local PST/EML/JSON. Direct write-back to the tenant via Graph API ships in v1.1 — F-7.1 on the roadmap.
Paying for customer reviews is a known practice in B2B software — and tolerated within limits by G2 and TrustRadius. What is **not** tolerated, and what the FTC has been fining since 2024, is conditioning the incentive on a perfect score. We talk about what that means for the backup market, why it likely masks real product deficiencies, and whether a US class-action is plausible.
I spent the weekend running a Raj-Jain measurement campaign on the Bacula File Daemon I rewrote from scratch in Rust. It beats the official bacula-fd 15.0.3 on 9 of 9 cells, with backup windows up to 67% shorter. And there is still room to improve.
Opening up a calendar for free corporate backup assessments (Bacula, Veeam, NetBackup, CommVault, Networker, Rubrik): 30 minutes with Heitor Faria — author of 4 Bacula books, top Bacula Enterprise sales lead worldwide for 2 years, 5,600+ students across 86 countries.
Spent the entire day on what I love most: Disaster Recovery. Specifically, on the Global Deduplication plugin we're writing from scratch in Rust for Bacula. Preliminary numbers already beat reference implementations in C — and even so, I haven't shipped it. Here is why: responsibility to the end customer.
A PodHeitor evoluiu para o NGBackup — dedup global de até 60×, anti-ransomware e replicação de VMs entre hypervisors. A nova geração de proteção de dados.
