Bareos is a free, open-source backup solution that incorporates features like backup, restoration, and verification of data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bareos on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Bareos on your Linux Mint system:
First, update the system to ensure you have the latest software packages and repositories. Run the following command on the terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, add the Bareos repository to your system. Run the following command:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/$(lsb_release -cs)/$(lsb_release -rs)/$(arch)/$(lsb_release -cs)/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bareos.list'
After adding the repository, you must add the Bareos key to the system. Use the command below to add the key:
sudo wget -q https://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/latest/$(lsb_release -cs)/Release.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Now that the repository is added and the key has been added, install Bareos using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bareos bareos-webui
Once installed, you should make some configurations to Bareos. Edit the /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf file and the /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.conf file to add the backup locations and options you require.
Finally, start the Bareos services using the following command:
sudo systemctl start bareos-dir.service bareos-sd.service bareos-fd.service
You have successfully installed Bareos on your Linux Mint Latest system. Now you can start configuring the backup locations and options that suit your backup needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
