Bacula-Web

Bacula-Web is a web based tool written in PHP which provides a summarized view of your Bacula backup infrastructure.

All the metrics and information provided by Bacula-Web are taken from Bacula catalog database, so there's no need to set up bconsole, bvfs, etc

In addition, the accesses to the database are made read-only, so your Bacula catalog is not altered by Bacula-Web

Why this project ?

Bacula-Web project has been revived since 2010.

I thought that having an easy and useful web UI to monitor Bacula backup jobs, volumes, pools, etc. would be nice. So I decided to take care of this project which was almost abandoned since more than 4 years.

For more information, please check the project history

This project is just my little contribution to Bacula community project. I hope you'll find it useful and enjoy it !
