Q: You’ve recently announced your Docker Container module; could you tell us something more?

A: Right now, Bacula is the only backup solution in the world that can perform automated backup and recovery of Docker containers. This module is integrated via the Docker API and means users can rapidly and easily backup multiple containers without having to install an agent inside each container. This exciting new capability represents Bacula’s first step towards soon-to-be-announced full orchestration integration. By the way, in addition to Docker, we also support more types of Virtual Machines than any other vendor. So when we claim to be ‘broad and flexible, we really mean it!
