In two courses our training partner Dr. Stephan Rein shares his knowledge about the administration of the Open Source backup solution. The two online courses "Bareos Level 1 and Level 2" first took place in June, and due to several requests from our international partners they will now be held in English language. Since both workshops are half-day courses, this leaves enough time to cope with other daily work.

Bareos, Level 1:

• Introduction to Bareos
• Differences between Bacula and Bareos
• Installation and Update
• Basic Configuration
• Backup and Restore
• Backup Strategies
• Volume Management I: (Backup2Disk)
• Volume LifeCycle Management
• Bareos Tools/Utilities
• Disaster Recovery (NEW: Disaster Recovery with Bareos and ReaR)
• Troubleshooting

Bareos, Level 2:

• Volume Management II: (Backup2Disk2Tape)
  • Backup on Tape
  • Autoloader/Tape Library
  • Migration and Replication (Copy Jobs)
• Bareos scaled/parallelized: Concurrent Jobs
• Synthetic/virtual Full Backup
• Encrypting your Data

There will be plenty of exercises that the participants perform on their own computers (prerequisite: Windows, macOS or Linux). Exercises take place in specially provided virtual Linux servers running in VirtualBox. The participants work with PuTTY (Windows) or SSH (Linux, macOS). Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with the Linux console and a text editor (e.g. Nano, Joe, Emacs, Vi(m) etc.).

Level 1 (5 afternoons) costs 1159 Euro (including VAT), Level 2 (3 afternoons) 695 Euro (including VAT). If you'd like to combine the courses, they cost 1739 Euro in total.
