Yes, Bareos had more features, because they were developed in secret over a 3 year period, so having more features is not a surprise. The next version of Bacula, which should be out very soon (a matter of days) will not have all of the features of Bareos, but will have the essential ones in my view (this can be argued), and it will also have quite a number of other smaller features that Bareos doesn't have, though I expect they will quickly take the code. Is Bareos being developed more? Absolutely not. They have a single programmer, plus one other guy who thinks he can program, but the code he has put into Bareos would never make it into Bacula because of its poor quality. This comment does not apply to the code I wrote, but that they stole from the Enterprise version :-)
One thing you can give the Bareos guys credit for is that they are extremely good spin-doctors. They make it sound like they are a big team and are doing a lot. If you look at the presentations they have given over the last year, they all talk about the same old features they had a year ago. How many new big features have they added?
I am not aware of exactly what transpired, but from what I can grasp from what you wrote is that you were not treated very well when they heard about Bareos. I am sorry if you were offended, but I probably would have offended you too -- for me it is not very cool for a Bareos user to ask Bacula guys for help -- sorry, but that is my reality. If that is what happened to you, I guess I have more Bacula friends out there than I had imagined.
As I say, the reaction of the #bacula guys sounds pretty normal to me. I hope you can understand that some day.
Good luck with Bareos, you are really going to need it -- even their prized new feature SD-to-SD (now in Bacula 7.0.0) caused their SD to crash, and I personally am aware of at least one other way to crash Bareos. Best regards, Kern
