A standalone global dedup engine that operates as a Storage Daemon sidecar, with variable-length chunking (FastCDC), multi-layer Bloom filter, RocksDB index, client-side dedup via FD plugin, and Prometheus metrics — competing directly with Bacula Enterprise GED and Commvault DDB. Companion…

VM-level backup of Nutanix AHV via Prism v3+v4 with native Changed Regions Tracking, vendor-neutral PHCBT01 replication, inbound cross-hypervisor restore from Proxmox/vSphere/Hyper-V, and disk-only / alternate-cluster restore — all absent from the Bacula Enterprise 18.2.3 AHV plugin. Companion technical document to…

VM-level backup with block-level CBT (QEMU dirty bitmaps), continuous DR replication, cross-restore to Proxmox/Hyper-V/VMware, and streaming format conversion — capabilities the Bacula Enterprise CloudStack plugin does not cover. Companion technical document to the PodHeitor CloudStack plugin page. 1. The problem:…

VDI on Windows, TDS/FIFO on Linux, BACKUP TO URL for Azure SQL MI, up-to-64-way striped parallel I/O, three native replication modes (log shipping / AG bootstrap / fanout), instant recovery, and SSAS/SSRS/SSIS coverage. Technical companion to the PodHeitor MSSQL plugin…

Five backup modes (dump / rman / rman_sbt / cdp / replicate), pure-Rust libobk-rs.so SBT v2, Oracle 11g R2 → 23ai, anti-ransomware canary, and Bacularis-driven restore with no SSH on the Oracle host. Technical companion to the PodHeitor OracleDB plugin…

Parallel logical dump, hot physical via xtrabackup/mariabackup with LSN incremental chain, MySQL 8.0.17+ CLONE INSTANCE agent-less, transportable tablespaces, and native DR-replica provisioning. Technical companion to the PodHeitor MySQL plugin page. 1. Why not the Bacula Enterprise MySQL plugin? The Enterprise…

Five backup modes (dump / parallel_dump / pitr / pitr_block / cdp), replication-slot and subscription capture, automated 6-phase restore, and PG17 block-level via pg_basebackup --incremental. Technical companion to the PodHeitor PostgreSQL plugin page. 1. The problem: stock Bacula + PostgreSQL…

Image-level backup via VADP + CBT, CBT-based push replication with 10 DR modes, cross-hypervisor restore (vSphere ↔ Hyper-V ↔ Proxmox), and the VDDK runtime RPM with RPATH=$ORIGIN that avoids polluting the host's ld.so. Technical companion to the PodHeitor vSphere plugin…

Direct VHDX access without Export-VM, change tracking via RCT (Resilient Change Tracking), near-CDP RCT-Push replication, cross-hypervisor conversion (vSphere/Proxmox → Hyper-V), and multi-adapter architecture. Technical companion to the PodHeitor Hyper-V plugin page. 1. The problem: Hyper-V backup without a plugin is…

Internal architecture, operation modes, Veeam-style DR replication, NBD-based instant recovery, cross-hypervisor conversion (vSphere/Hyper-V → PVE), and the security model with TLS fingerprint pinning. Technical companion to the PodHeitor Proxmox plugin page. 1. The problem: stock Bacula is hypervisor-blind Bacula Community…

Commercial-grade Rust plugin for Firebird 3/4/5 on Bacula Community 15.0.3+, closing a real gap: Bacula Enterprise does not ship a Firebird plugin. Three modes (gbak dump, nbackup chain L0..LN, FB ≥4 replication-log shipping), cross-version migration, FB 5 parallel workers (gbak…
