Bareos Client 26.0.0 for MacOS X

Bareos is on Open Source, enterprise ready, network based backup program. This installer package contains the Bareos File Daemon (and bconsole) for Mac OS X >= 10.5.

Requirements

The Bareos File Daemon (bareos-fd) is only the client component of the backup system. For proper operation the file daemon needs to be accessed by a Bareos Director and Bareos Storage Daemon, typically installed on a (Linux) server machine in the local network.

Bareos File Daemon Configuration

To make use of your Bareos File Daemon on your system, it is required to configure the Bareos Director and the local Bareos File Daemon. Configure the server-side by follow the instructions at docs.bareos.org.

Restart bareos-fd after changing the configuration

The bareos-fd must be restarted to reread its configuration:

sudo launchctl stop com.bareos.bareos-fd
sudo launchctl start com.bareos.bareos-fd

Following command can be used to check its status:

sudo launchctl list com.bareos.bareos-fd

You can also manually start bareos-fd in debug mode by:

cd /usr/local/bareos
sudo sbin/bareos-fd -f -d 100
