About Bareos

Bareos is a cross-network backup, archiving, and recovery system for Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, macOS, and other established operating systems. It scales across many clients and storage targets, and runs as a director coordinating storage daemons and file daemon clients.

Backups write to disk, tape, dedupable, and cloud or object storage. Full, incremental, differential, always-incremental, and virtual-full workflows are supported, with built-in encryption and role-based ACL access control. Administration runs through the Bareos WebUI or the bconsole command line.

Plugins cover databases, virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere, Proxmox, and Hyper-V, Linux and Windows bare-metal recovery, and high-speed NDMP SAN backups. Bareos is licensed under AGPLv3 with no open-core restrictions and is self-hosted on your own infrastructure.
