I'm glad you stated this so clearly, because, to me, you message below
does sound like you are upset, resentful about the effort you have
expended and the lack of community response, and regretful about some
of the business decisions.

Given that we currently depend on Bacula, I appreciate the information.

I need some clarification on this point as soon as possible.

I am using the Bacula community edition for a small educational research
lab.  We have a SAN. We use shared storage. It sounds like you are
saying that we are in violation of the license in some way because of
the hardware in our environment.

If an Enterprise contract is required, as you state above, then I will

the community edition as soon as possible.

The Bacula Enterprise license cost is well outside our budget.
