Hello Everybody,
We are pleased to announce the release of Bacularis 5.9.0. This version introduces
several important new features and improvements, which you can find detailed below.
MS SQL Server database plugin
We have introduced a brand-new plugin for backing up Microsoft SQL Server databases.
It provides advanced protection for:
- Databases
- Transaction logs
- Encryption data
The plugin supports both Windows and Linux MS SQL Server instances, in local
as well as remote locations. It also includes Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)
directly available from the web interface.
All technical details for this plugin are available in the dedicated documentation
chapter:
https://bacularis.app/doc/plugins/database/microsoft-sql-server-backup-plugin.html
Sudo-rs support
In version 5.9.0, we have also added basic support for sudo-rs. Below
is a list of features currently supported with sudo-rs. Full support is planned
for future releases after 5.9.0.
Bconsole command execution
Bacula JSON tools (Bacula configuration-related functions in Bacularis)
Actions (starting, stopping, and restarting Bacula components)
Software Management:
Deploying the Bacula File Daemon
Deploying the Bacula Storage Daemon
Deploying the Bacula Bconsole
Installing TLS/SSL certificate
Changing web server port
Please note that these sudo-rs changes are fully transparent to Bacularis users
and do not require any additional actions or configuration. Traditional sudo
continues to be fully supported and will remain supported in the future.
Other functions
We have added a new OS profile for Bacula and Bacularis deployments
on Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka.
We have also improved debug logging, with special focus on plugin-related messages.
Fixes
This release includes several bug fixes. One notable fix addresses issues
with OIDC login when using Alpine-based Docker container images.
