BMS implements all basic operational functionality for Bacula, and allows to configure all Director, Storage, FileDaemon and Console resources. The main features are:

Run a new job with the possibility to change pre-defined values
Follow Job progression in real-time (backup and restore — see figure 1). You have access to information like the current filename, the number of files seen, the backup size, logs and an estimation of the progression percent completion based on previous backup sizes

Restarting a Job by clicking on a failed Job using all the previous Job values
Possibility to interface with your wiki to simplify access to documentation and to recovery hints
A restore screen with on screen navigation, which groups multiple different FileSets of a Client in a single tree structure, as shown in figure 2
