Compatibility with Other Bacula Functionality

A Cloud Volume stores the same data as any other Bacula Volume type (disk, tape, etc.). Thus, all the existing Bacula functionality, with the exception of deduplication, is available with the Bacula Cloud Plugin drivers.

Client encrypted data, Storage Daemon Data Volume Encryption, compressed data, other plugins data, etc., can be stored in Cloud Volumes.

Note

At the current time, Bacula Global Endpoint Deduplication does not support writing to the cloud because the cloud would be too slow to support large hashed and indexed containers of deduplicated data.
