Enterprise Backup and Data Recovery Subscription Levels
Bacula Systems recognizes the importance of world-class technical support. We offer six levels of subscription: Small Business Edition, Standard, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, all including comprehensive support benefits and access to the official Bacula Enterprise binaries.
The yearly subscription includes the software, the license rights, unlimited technical support, patches, updates and upgrades; there is no data volume charge or number of CPU multi-tier license to be added. The minimum subscription level is determined by the number of machines – also called “agents” – (servers, desktops, laptops, mobile devices, VMs and Containers) to be backed up, restored, installed or deployed combined with the required response time. Our prices are extremely competitive because you only need one subscription (per installed Director). To know the annual price for each subscription, please contact us as it can vary based on your Backup & Restore project as well as your specific needs. We offer lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and faster return on investment (ROI) than an equivalent proprietary solution for Backup and Data Recovery.
