Is anyone here using Bareos or willing to implement it ?

a howto that should work https://www.osradar.com/install-bareos-on-centos-7/
Not sure the UI of this project is really enhanced, last time I saw it, I felt something not terminated, but the backup engine behind is professional.

I’m actually testing it, seems to work with a Windows client, at least it recognizes it.
Quick install:
# download repo file and install packages
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bareos.repo http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/latest/CentOS_7/bareos.repo
yum -y install nethserver-mysql bareos bareos-database-mysql bareos-webui
# configure database
/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/create_bareos_database
/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_bareos_tables
/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/grant_bareos_privileges
# setup admin
cp /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/console/admin.conf.example /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/console/admin.conf
# services
systemctl enable bareos-dir bareos-sd bareos-fd --now
systemctl reload httpd
# firewall

Many thanks!
I truly believe we should document modules and how-to’s on the wiki. A progessive forum with thousands of edits, readings and catch up does not cut it for me.

Does this solution have more options than (for instance) BackupPC?
Are backups stored encrypted?
I will read some on the project site, but anyone knows what happens if a backup is skipped? Will it be picked up at another moment?
This bothers me a bit when it comes to updates and reliability:
Updates and Bugfix releases
Community version: (Source code only)
Professional version: Available on download.bareos.com
BTW… bareos is a fork from bacula

I asked and repeated it so much time but it seems this community prefers discourse to make howtos

Yes, on the end of the day. ATM we are on the way. A 50% Wiki does’nt make sense ?
I would like to see a “one for all” solution. I try to find a software who is able to backup linux, windows and mac-clients. ATM I am not sure if this is working for my OSs (win10, win7, manjaro, ubuntu, mac-os (mojave). Lets try it out ?

You are also right… Maybe we should start a wiki-day (one time per month) ?
I’ll doe wiki day any day, as long as people are willng to share
Come on @stephdl, you know that is not how it works. We have quite a nice and straightforward procedure on new features and howto’s.
- do a feature request in the Features section Here we investigate other, similar options and if the feature can count on support in the community
- create a howto install on NethServer in the Howto section Here the howto is created and polished. As soon the howto is 100% reproducable, it gets a spot in our wiki
- last step will be full integration as a module.
So my call to all community members would be: help us out here and do some cleaning up. Check if howto’s in the forums still are relevant and if they are not yet in the wiki, start writing those wiki entry’s.

we can see that after the installation the user bareos has no password set, I worry about security here :-?
we could set afterward the password to this MYSQL user
mysql;
grant all privileges on bareos.* to 'bareos'@'localhost' identified by 'password' ;
then set the password in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/catalog/MyCatalog.conf

Very good find!
Hi Steph just a small note if i may.
From what i remember (i might have forgot things), note that 127.0.0.1 or ::1 is not the same as “localhost” in mysql or MariaDB
So, bareos user will still be without password in 2 instances out of 3
And as always you do a great job 
Best regards
Bogdan

Just as a reference, here’s also talk about using localhost and 127.0.0.1

MariaDB/MySQL have never been preferred DB backends for Bareos. Please use Postgres.
