In case you think you have a virus, malware or cryptovirus you can verify easely what files have been changed. This is kinda fun, the […]

In the previous article on Bareos, we setup a quick and dirty backup job to run every night. This was pretty easy, but it has some flaws. (1) the first flaws, -after a full backup- only increment backups are created, forever. This makes it difficult to get a restore going down the line, as all the […]
