Every autumn Bareos developers, partners and users meet in Cologne, Germany, for the annual OSBConf. In 2018, the Open Source Backup Conference, organized by dass IT and Netways, celebrated its tenth anniversary – a successful event that brought together participants from Europe, USA and Asia.

Get together!

Like in previous years, speakers and participants spent the evening before the conference together. The Social Dinner is always a good opportunity to discuss backup strategies and other sysadmin topics in a relaxed atmosphere.

The following day the actual conference took place. There were many interesting talks:

• Restore and Backup Elasticsearch Indices | Daniel Neuberger (Netways)
• A case study on building a mail archive with postfix | Dr. Stephan Rein (backup & recovery help)
• What’s new in Bareos 18 | Philipp Storz, Frank Ueberschar (Bareos GmbH & Co. KG, dass IT)
• Schroedingers Backup |  Toshaan Bharvani (VanTosh)
• Relax-and-Recover Automated Testing with Bareos | Gratien D´haese (IT3 Consultants)
• Backing up Nextcloud – Consistent Backup and Restore of Application Data | Sebastian Lederer (dass IT)

All slides, videos of the presentations and photos from the conference are now available in the OSBConf archive.
