Bareos – Open-Source Backup & Recovery 20.0

Bareos (Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced) is open-source backup and recovery software for modern IT environments. 
Licensed under AGPLv3 and available on GitHub, it is built for transparency, reliability and independence from vendor lock-in. Bareos supports major Linux platforms including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE, as well as Windows and macOS, and offers plugins for VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Proxmox, databases and other workloads.

Bareos 20 introduces new and improved plugins, for instance, the libcloud plugin, which uses the Apache Libcloud library to back up cloud storage objects directly via the S3 interface (Simple Storage Service). We’ve also upgraded the VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) for our VMware plugin, and modernized the Python API as well as all Bareos Python plugins.


In addition, Bareos 20 includes a technical preview of the new REST API, which will allow access to Bareos via an HTTP interface in future. Currently listed as experimental, the REST API already supports some important commands: at the moment, users can configure parts of Bareos as well as start, stop and monitor backup jobs.

Over 1,500 commits from a total of 22 contributors have gone into Bareos 20. In conclusion, we offer packages for 22 platforms on our download servers: CentOS 7/8, Debian 9/10, Fedora 31/32/33, openSUSE 15.2, RHEL 7/8, SLES 12/15, Univention 4.4, Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04, FreeBSD 11.4/12.2, macOS ≥10.13, Solaris (x86, SPARC) 11.4, Windows 10, and Windows Server ≥2012.
