Frome the release note: Bareos 20 released ✔ Improved Cloud Storage integration ✔ New and revised plugins ✔ Modernized Python API ✔ New REST API Cologne, 16th December, 2020 – The Bareos team launches a new version of the Open Source backup solution of the same name. Bareos 20 includes, among other things, a new plugin to back up cloud storage objects directly via the S3 interface, a modernized Python API and a preview of the new REST API. New and improved Plugins Bareos 20 introduces the brand-new libcloud plugin , which uses the Apache Libcloud library to back up cloud storage objects directly via the S3 interface (Simple Storage Service). The Bareos plugin can thus create backups of Amazon S3 buckets directly via the S3 interface. Since Apache Libcloud is a standard library and supports other cloud storage systems as well, Bareos' libcloud plugin will be ready to back up other cloud storage objects in the future. The plugin for backups and restores of PostgreSQL databases now supports incremental backups and point-in-time recovery which makes it possible to restore any transaction state from the past. For the VMware plugin, which has been able to create (incremental) backups of snapshots since Bareos 15.2, the developers have upgraded the VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) to the current version 7.0.1. The plugin now supports VMware versions 6.5, 6.7, 7 and also the release after that. The Python API and all Bareos Python plugins have been modernized. The code is now easier to read, and the included plugins have been adapted to work with both Python 2 and 3; parallel use of both versions is also possible. Users who have written their own Python plugins can refer to the porting guide in the manual to adapt the plugins. Among the ported Bareos plugins are the oVirt plugin, which enables agentless backups of virtual machines running under oVirt or Red Hat Virtualization, the VMware and PostgreSQL plugins, and the Percona XtraBackup plugin for backing up MySQL/MariaDB. Technology Preview: REST API 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. Hosting providers and other large environments in particular will benefit from the new REST API since it makes it possible to include typical Bareos operations in scripts or other automated procedures. Improved S3 Storage The storage backend bareos-storage-droplet has been included in the backup software since Bareos 17.2. It uses the libdroplet library which communicates with cloud storage systems via the S3 protocol. The Bareos developers have given it a general overhaul, but the most important new feature is the OpenSSL 1.1 support which includes support for current encryption technologies. The package bareos-storage-droplet used to be available for only a few Linux distributions, but since the upgrade Bareos offers packages for all Linux systems which are supported by the backup solution itself. Versioning, Changelog and other Numbers Bareos 20.0.0 is the first release that uses the so-called semantic versioning. Users can now recognize straight away if it's a major release (1st position), an update with changed functionality (2nd position) or a pure bugfix (3rd position). More transparency is provided by the continuously maintained changelog in the GitHub repository. It replaces the classic release notes, contains links to the corresponding bugs and pull requests, so that interested users can easily get information about the current progress at any time. Over 1,500 commits from a total of 22 contributors have gone into Bareos 20. The developers offer packages for 22 platforms: 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 .

pkgsrc
pkgsrc is a framework for building software for a variety of UNIX-like systems.
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
pkgin. pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is
/usr/pkg), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a
build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
Bootstrapping
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to bootstrap:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.
Please consult bootstrap/README and bootstrap/README.OS for detailed
information about bootstrapping.
Building packages
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages
(typically /usr/pkg)
On NetBSD, bmake is simply the built-in make tool.
To build packages in bulk, tools such as pkgtools/pbulk and
pkgtools/pkg_comp can be used.
Troubleshooting
- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ freenode.
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkgcategory).
