The English-language conference on open source backup solutions based on software such as BAREOS, REAR and Amanda attracted 65 participants to Cologne this year. The backup professionals have been able to expand their knowledge through expert presentations on the latest developments and trends, use cases, best practices and broad discussions. In addition, in-depth knowledge on Bareos, Rear and Monitoring was acquired by participating in one of the three offered workshops.
The lecture program offered presentations by open source experts such as Julius Faubel from Tandberg Data GmbH, who reported on Backup to Tape. Gregor Wolf from RedHat, presented the challenges of data explosion and solutions for it. Erol Ülukmen (uib GmbH) spoke about the client management system “opsi” as well as its integration with BAREOS. Gratien d–Haese got into details about the topics business continuity plan and mapping of disaster recovery with BAREOS and REAR. Thomas Otto presented the data backup strategy of Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany. Jörg Brühe (FromDual) dedicated his lecture to the subject database backup. Other presentations were held by Christian Reiß (Symgenius): Presentation of ZFS and its interaction with BAREOS and Tobias Groß (Gobalways AG): Backup using BAREOS Active Clients.
As a special highlight, the innovations in BAREOS 16.2 as well as the BAREOS roadmap for 2017 were presented by BAREOS founders Philipp Storz and Maik Aussendorf.
As in previous years, the Open Source Backup Conference offered an ideal framework for discussions and the intensive exchange of know-how and experience, which is also confirmed by the positive participant feedback.
