Bareos is an open source, enterprise level computer backup system for heterogeneous networks. It is designed to automate backup tasks that had often required intervention from a systems administrator or computer operator.
Bareos supports Linux, UNIX, Windows, and Mac OS X backup clients, and a range of professional backup devices including tape libraries. Administrators and operators can configure the system via a command line console, GUI or web interface; its back-end is a catalog of information stored by MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.
Overview[edit]
Bareos is a set of computer programs for managing backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network—providing a backup solution for mixed operating system environments.
In 2010 a former Bacula community developer (with several other Free Software users) started Bareos as a fork of Bacula. [1]
Bareos is open source and released under the AGPL version 3.
Bareos is one of the backup solutions used by Univention Corporate Server.,[2] it is included in several Linux distributions like Debian[3]
The open source platform Open Hub counts more than 580.000 lines of code, more than 30 current contributors and affirms "High Activity".[4] According to Bareos own information, the number of daily unique visitors on the official download site exceeded 20.000 in April 2016.[5]
In December 2015 the inter-ministerial working group on free software of the French government (Socle Interministériel de logiciel libre) included Bareos on their recommendation list among 130 other open source programs.[6]
Features[edit]
Bareos's features include:
Network options[edit]
- TCP/IP - client–server communication uses standard ports and services instead of RPC for NFS, CIFS, etc.; this eases firewall administration and network security
- CRAM-MD5 - configurable client–server authentication
- GZIP/LZO/LZ4 - client-side compression to reduce network bandwidth consumption; this runs separate from hardware compression done by the backup device
- TLS - network communication encryption
- MD5/SHA - verify file integrity
- CRC - verify data block integrity
- PKI - backup data encryption
- NDMP - Direct storage backup
- Bandwidth Limitation
Client-options[edit]
- VSS - calls Microsoft's snapshot service
- Full and incremental backup of VMWare[7][8] virtual machines.
Backup devices[edit]
- pooling - allocates backup volumes according to job needs and retention configuration
- spooling - writes backup data to spool until target backup medium is allocated so jobs can continue uninterrupted
- media-spanning - such as spanning tapes
- multi-streaming - write multiple, simultaneous data streams to the same medium
- ANSI & EBCDIC - IBM compatibility
- Barcodes - reading tape barcodes in libraries
- autoloaders - virtually every tape autoloader available (called autochangers in Bareos)
- most tape drives, including DDS, DLT, SDLT, LTO-1-6
- hardware encryption since LTO version 4
- locations - tapes can be "out" of a library, allowing off-site storage
- Cloud storage: Bareos has native Ceph (software) and Gluster[9][10] connectors, to backup from an to cloud storages.
Client OS[edit]
The client software, executed by a "file daemon" running on a Bareos client, supports multiple operating systems. Users and administrators can also use a web UI to manage the backup system.
Distribution[edit]
The project publishes installation packages for each major release for the common Linux distributions, Windows and Mac.
