Well, here's an older version, dated September 2008:
http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/magazineFeature/0,296894,sid5_gci1331591,00.html

The interviewed Chris Hoogendyk is certainly no stranger to our list
here. He was, among others, very adamant about getting the feature we
call 'accurate backup' and which has been available as of release 3.0.0:
http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=Hoogendyk&l=bacula-users%40lists.sourceforge.net

Personally, I can't claim to administer anything remotely as big as the
"biology and geology departments at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst", (I do admin several thousand users at my job, but my Bacula
install only has a measly 10 users and 13 computers to worry about)
however if they interviewed me, I'd gladly tell them why I dropped
Amanda for Bacula back in 200something. ;)

The resuling piece would be just as biased as this 'article'. Then
again, I can't help but be biased, because I've now spent several years
using the very mature, extremely stable and rather feature rich Bacula
Open Source Network Backup Solution, and it is still a pleasure watching
it bloom and improve with every release.
