Bareos Backup 20.0

Bareos (Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced) is a reliable network open source software to backup, archive and restore files from all major operating systems.
The fork was founded 2010 out of the bacula.org project, in order to pursue development of new capabilities and sustainable ensure it’s open source character.

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.
