Bacula Enterprise 16.0.8 Installation and Upgrade Checklist

This page contains a non-exhaustive list of Bacula Enterprise Edition (BEE), version 16.0.8, supported operating systems, backup workloads and storage back-ends. If you have a demand that is not attended by this list, please contact us.

Some of the older operating systems’ workloads are attended by older Bacula File Daemon versions, which are perfectly compatible with newer Bacula Director and Storage Daemon versions. This arrangement will always be supported.
