Bareos articles

These are articles written while I am experimenting with Bareos a fork of Bacula. Bacula has gone commercial and dropped its community and free windows binary’s. So Bareos offers a rock solid backup solution alternative to Bacula. While these articles are made to be able to follow along, I should reference the huge manual of Bareos as the most likely and best and up-to-date reference for Bareos, yet cause of the size (500+ pages) its difficult to get started with Bareos. That’s why I wrote down my experience with Bareos.

1. Install Bareos on Centos
2. Clients :
   • Add a Linux client to bareos
   • Add a Windows client to bareos
3. Create a backup job of a linux configuration on bareos (backup /etc daily on clients)
4. Enhanced Bareos backup schedule
5. Change default storage location
6. Create a Windows FileSet
7. Concurrent jobs with Bareos
8. Fully remove a Client

Bugs / Issue’s

• Session validation failed, 500 error on apache
• bnet_host2ipaddrs() : Name or service not known
• 2092 bad storage
• Linux dependency failed for file deamon on client
• storage daemon could not open filestorage
• VSS api failure
