We are not here to discuss my business at all. This is about the product you are trying to sell.
Heitor, you have tried very hard to convince people about your new product, which is essentially a recompiled or migrated Bacula Community version rewritten in Rust. Based on your own public and shared documents, it is very easy to see what it actually does and what it is capable of. There are simply many wrong design decisions and incorrect implementations. Just for the record: an AI is only as good as the person using it. I will give only one example from your own documentation that clearly shows how useless some of the promises are that you make. Your anti-ransomware feature performs several “checks” and then, after some amount of time (if I remember correctly, about 30 minutes), it shuts down the share. After 30 minutes the attacker has all the time in the world to do their damage while you go and grab a coffee and wait for the disaster to complete. Should I quote your own email to me after I pointed this out? Do you remember your answer? You explicitly said it cannot replace a real ransomware protection solution. So why are you promoting it as such? You know your software cannot do what you promise, but you still market it as a core feature. In some parts of the world people call this a scam or fraud. When someone sells a technology under false pretenses, that is at least unethical and in some jurisdictions even criminal. The same applies to your “super HA” solution, including the SAP example you like to use. This is all based on your own publicly shared information. Now, suddenly, you come up with a different story. If you try to sell a weak product, then at the very least the product should be finished, you should have done your homework, and you should not talk about customers you do not actually have. But maybe I am wrong and Brazil has just been waiting for your solution. However, from my experience in Brazil, your software would need to be genuinely open source, not “fake source”, to be taken seriously. I know what I am talking about. I assume you are familiar with the Brazilian federal open source migration guide (“Guia Livre: Referência de Migração para Software Livre do Governo Federal”), aren’t you? I received a copy years ago because of my contributions. The question still stands: why are you trying to sell this here? This is a Bacula mailing list, not an NGbackup marketing channel. If you want to promote your product, maybe your YouTube channel is the right place for that. Just put in 500 coins and you will quickly reach 1,000 followers. When I use Bacula, I use the Enterprise edition, and I am quite sure you cannot seriously compare your product with any of the established enterprise solutions on the market. > On Dienstag, Juli 07, 2026 at 3:21 PM, Reiner Jung <[email protected] > (mailto:[email protected])> wrote: > Wrong, you are not a competitor.
