You can go here, to the bacula community website under rpm/ Deb / osx
downloads.
https://www.bacula.org/bacula-binary-package-download/

Heads up that the email sent to you on registering might not send. If so
directly after entering your email address and name, a page will load and
in the middle of that page will be a link saying the click 'here'. That
link contains the path component you want.

I recommend saving a copy of that page because the information isn't
available to return to readily without re-registering. I also recommend
saving a copy of your community license key.

If installing under RHEL 9 / RL 9 / AL 9 etc be aware that the bacula
community distribution (version 13.x, at least) hashes its files with sha1,
and that hash algorithm has been deprecated for security reasons. You'll
need to re-enable it if you get error messages related to this.

If you want a GUI to manage bacula (probably do), you'll probably want
bacularis over baculum. Bacularis is a friendly fork of baculum. Dev Marcin
is on this list. :)

Bacula-web is also available maintained by Davide, also on this list.
bacula-web only provides reporting functionality, not management.

I recommend you follow your current course of action and continue seeking
packages from the official repository, as opposed to outdated packages from
the OS repositories. Be careful not to mix and match packages from the OS
repositories with packages from the official repos. I blacklisted bacula
packages on the OS repos for this reason.

Bacula-dir, bacula-sd must be the same version. Traditionally, bacula-fd
did not have to be same version, could be version <= bacula-dir/bacula-sd.
However, I have seen reports that this backwards compatibility for FD is
partially broken now in bacula 13.x. so an FD for 9.x might still work with
bacula-dir 13.x but maybe error reporting doesn't work right, which is
dangerous. So I recommend you ensure your FD are same version or at least
same major version. At no point can your FD be a greater version than
bacula-dir/bacula-sd. Always <=.
