Most of the systems in the IT world can be backed up following an agent based strategy, where the File Daemon is deployed in the target host, independently from the underlying platform.

However, Bacula also offers a very complete solution to protect Virtual Machines or Containers in agent-less mode and in a consistent way through the usage of snapshot techniques. These technologies are covered through specific Plugins. The main Virtualization platforms in the market are covered:
