# Announcing Bacula Enterprise 10.2.

## Bacula Enterprise 10.2 delivers full agentless backup and recovery for Red Hat Virtualization, and introduces hybrid cloud connectivity for Oracle Cloud and Google Cloud.

- Version 10.2 adds Red Hat Virtualization to Bacula’s suite of hypervisor modules, complementing [Hyper-V](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-tools/hyper-v-backup-software-solution) , [VMware](/lp-vm-vmw-en-1) , [Xen](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-tools/citrix-xenserver-backup-software) , [KVM](/backup-kvm-virtual-machines-with-bacula-enterprise-kvm-vm-backup-and-recovery) and [Proxmox](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-tools/backup-and-recovery-for-proxmox) native integration into [virtual environments](/blog/backup-virtual-machine-with-bacula-enterprise-technical-overview) .
- [Google Cloud](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-software/enterprise-backup-solution-amazon-s3-aws) and [Oracle Cloud](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-software/enterprise-backup-solution-amazon-s3-aws) are added to Bacula’s already implemented integration to [AWS](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-software/enterprise-backup-solution-amazon-s3-aws) , S3, S3-IA and [Azure](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-software/enterprise-backup-solution-amazon-s3-aws) connectivity
- [ACSLS tape changer](/best-enterprise-data-backup-solutions/tape-backup-software-system) support added to Bacula’s exceptionally wide support of different storage media

#### Red Hat Virtualization – Native Integration for advanced Backup and Restore

[This module](/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-tools/red-hat-virtualization-module)
 is designed to increase flexibility, efficiency and reduce costs for users of Red Hat Virtualization. It typically renders a lower total cost of ownership year over year when compared to other backup and recovery solutions, and its functionality is unique in the industry, providing the following benefits:

- **Agentless backup** of the Red Hat Virtualization environment
- **Full image-level backup**.
- Completely **agnostic** to storage back-end
- Transparent **quiescing** and snapshot creation. RHV snapshot integration to create a snapshop to back up, and delete this snapshot when backup finishes (when the module finishes its work, or when the next backup is initiated).
- **Restore flexibility**: to the same or different cluster/storage, existing or new virtual instances
- **Configuration of restored virtual machines on the fly**, and option to restore to plain files for further processing
- **Disk exclusion**. To control backup granularity and capacity requirements. Administrators can set up a general, automated backup, for big sets of VMs and can choose not to backup specific storage destinations. Users can retain customized configuration to simplify administration tasks.

- **VM exclusion** Offers similar benefits as above, but for VMs.
- **Selection of VMs to back up by tags**, regular expression matching on name, per cluster, or per Storage Domain
- Backup of virtual machines **in a “running”, “paused” or “shut off” state**
- Optional **password obfuscation**
- Failed backup controls: – Find and remove previous failed backups / snapshots with every execution. – Backup cancellation and connection loss controls to try to remove snapshots or clones of current backup

**Specific Restore features:**The Bacula RHV module performs Restore to the original or to a different location (cluster or storage domain). This flexibility allows the user choices such as:

- **Replace original VMs or create new VMs** with a new name. For example, change destination VM name, to facilitate actions such as migration
- **Local restore of disk images** and VM XML configuration to allow further, manual processing
- **Exclude disks from Restore**, potentially resulting in less data retrieval and increasing efficiency
- **Turn VM on after restore, or leave turned off**, offering less downtime as well as automated operations

- **Restore disk configuratio**n: – Virtual disk image format (COW or raw) – Virtual disk interface (ide, virtio, virtio_scsi, spart). – “Active” state of disk – “Boot disk” flag – Disk name format
- **Restore NIC configurations** (providing MAC address list). Administrators can choose if they want the exact same machine, or a copy of it
