I've never looked closely at their pricing, since we're a small shop and 
are doing reasonably well on our own so far, but if the prices are 
all-or-nothing in the range of thousands of dollars per year, as you 
write, then yes, I agree with you there's a gap in their support offering.

Or maybe there are other companies offering bacula support / consulting 
which are able to fill this gap (as I'd expect with an opensource 
enterprise-grade software)...

(ok I'll stop here since I've got nothing more to add than my own 
speculations :-)
