Limitations

The following article presents limitations of BGuardian Plugin.

While this tool is designed to help to monitor and detect important issues related with security and all kind of best-practices to keep an environment safe, it should not be used standalone as the only measure of protection.

As stated in the introductory article, many other mechanisms should be used to keep an environment safe, where doing things securely should be treated as a general culture put in place in each and every element of an organization, from software elements to human practices.

• BGuardian is only available for Bacula environments deployed over PostgreSQL databases.

• Catalog running on MySQL is not supported.

• The restart command has limitations with plugins, as it initiates the Job from scratch rather than continuing it. Bacula determines whether a Job is restarted or continued, but using the restart command will result in a new Job.
