about

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.


Key Bacula-Web features

  • Dashboard Overview

    Displays real-time information on the status of backup jobs, job history, volume usage, and system health metrics, giving administrators a comprehensive view of the backup environment at a glance.

  • Backup Job Monitoring

    Allows users to track the progress and results of both active and completed backup jobs, including detailed logs, errors, and backup statistics.

  • Job and Volume Reports

    Offers a wide range of reports, such as job status (successful, failed, etc.), backup job execution time, and detailed volume information (e.g., available capacity, usage).

  • User-friendly Interface

    Makes it easier for administrators to navigate and manage Bacula’s features without requiring deep knowledge of command-line operations.

  • Multi-language Support

    Bacula-Web supports 15 languages, making it accessible to a global user base.

  • Customizable Views

    Users can customize the interface to show relevant information and statistics based on their needs.

    Bacula-Web retrieves data from Bacula’s director database, compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, and provides comprehensive reports based on it.
