Bareos is a network-based backup solution that stores backup les and databases of all computers within a network in a central location. Several versions of a le for any period of time can be kept. A database keeps the information where all the les with all the different versions from various computers are stored. The backup is saved on hard drives, tape drives or encrypted in the cloud.
When necessary - for example, after an accidentally deletion of a le or a hard drive failure - single les or an entire backup can be restored.
Since the program sources of Bareos are freely available, users and customers can be assured of being able to access their data in the future, as no manufacturer could prevent this through restrictive licenses or by expiring maintenance.
The software is developed by an international team led by the Cologne-based company Bareos GmbH & Co. KG with the former Linux kernel developer Marco van Wieringen as the Head of Development. The company Bareos offers a subscription service, which contains installation packages that are permanently maintained and constantly undergo quality assurance. Together with a worldwide partner network support, consulting and training sessions are also offered.
Financial service providers like the Cologne-based company cardtech, banks, the Bavarian State Archives, Max Planck institutes, universities, and other numerous small, medium and large enterprises worldwide are among the satised customers.
The Bareos co-founder and managing director Maik Aussendorf comments: "We are excited that many customers and a large community trust in our transparent and future proof open source solution to backup their data."
