Welcome to Bacula-Web project

What is Bacula-Web ?

Bacula-Web is an open-source, web-based tool designed to provide a user-friendly graphical interface for managing and monitoring Bacula backups.

Bacula is a powerful, open-source backup solution for networks that allows the backup, recovery, and verification of data across a range of computers and devices.

While Bacula itself is command-line driven, Bacula-Web offers a more accessible way to visualize Bacula activities and system health.
