Wilmington, DE (ots) -

Patent covers deduplication technology, integrated into Bacula Enterprise to
cover Physical, Virtual, Container and Cloud environments all in a single
Enterprise Backup & Restore Platform

Accelerating its leadership in high performance backup and recovery for
enterprises and managed services providers, Bacula Systems announced today the
issuance to it by the US Patent Office of a patent that answers to the
increasing needs in the industry for effective and efficient data deduplication.

The patent for invention number 10,467,197 is for creating a universally
deduplicatable archive volume, and is the key part of a complete data
deduplication process for backing up and restoring data in the fastest, most
efficient manner possible. The technology has application for physical, virtual,
container or cloud-based IT environments.

This method for advanced deduplication was invented by Dr. Kern Sibbald, who
created and developed the code to be applicable in mission-critical, large
enterprise environments. Dr. Kern Sibbald is the founder and leader of the
Bacula community project and founder and Chairman of Bacula Systems SA.

As data volume grows, demand for effective deduplication technology within
backup and recovery solutions increases, as more MSPs and large data centers are
forced to deal with ever-expanding data, often with bandwidth and storage
constrained infrastructures. "Like Bacula itself, this technology is extremely
powerful, simple and robust. It solves the problem of data deduplication through
a unique approach to how data is written and managed" said Kern Sibbald, Founder
and Chairman, Bacula Systems.

"This patent protects our technology and allows data workflows to be more
effectively managed, reducing time and saving on storage costs. Our customers
around the world are already using this technology. This announcement adds
confirmation to Bacula Systems leadership in developing backup and restore
solutions for large, demanding IT environments," said Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula
Systems.

Bacula Systems customers include NASA, Texas A&M University, Swisscom, Sky and
many more. About Bacula Systems: Bacula Enterprise Edition is a highly scalable
