The Open Source Backup Conference 2013 has taken place at Wednesday, September 25th 2013 and is unfortunally now over. It really has been a success. Around 50 persons from different companies have joined to see what Open Source backup is capable of.
We’re looking forward to the Open Source Backup Conference 2014, which will again take place in Fall 2014 in Cologne, Germany.
While the conference has had its only focus on Bacula in the years 2009 until 2012, 2013 has been the first year, where all Open Source backup solutions have been invided to present there progress. One of the main reasons for this has been the emerging of Bareos. Therefore the conference has been renamed from “Bacula Conference” to “Open Source Backup Conference”.
Sure, the main focus has still been Bacula (Open Source Edition) and its successor Bareos, but also the Disaster Recovery framework relax-and-recover has presented its newest release.
See here the list of presentation (in order, they have been given). If possible, we have linked to slides of the presentations.

Bacula MonitoringHaving a backup is an important part of the security policy of a company. However, setting up a Backup server is not the most important part of it. It is far more imnportant that all backups are done and done in time. For this purpose, I've tested different monitoring alternatives, including Check_MK. This presentation gives an overview about the different Bacula Monitoring plugins and continues with some real world examples. Download |  | Florian Heigl (florianheigl.me) |
Bareos: FeaturesBareos is a fork of Bacula with offers prebuild binaries for all major Linux distributions and Windows. It also includes numerous new features like Passive Clients, Copy Jobs between different storage daemons, NDMP backup, ... Everything is developed as Open Source. This presentation shows the advantages of Bareos. Philipp Storz also hopes, that the further development of Bareos can be discussed at the hands-on area.

However, we will also show you how to start up DR plan and explain some handy tools, such as Relax and Recover (rear) so you can get started and being prepared.

Building Large Scale High Performance Backup-to-Disk RepositoriesSee examples of a large scale disk backup system with the capacity of 3 Peta Bytes (PB). An important topic in this kind of scenarios is using ZFS on Linux as file system for backups. Download |  | Peter Buschman (NetApp) |
Integration von Bareos in Univention UmgebungenDer Vortrag behandelt die Integration von Bareos in Univention Corporate Server Umgebungen und deren Management. Durch die Integration von Bareos in das Univention App Center kann Bareos per Mausklick installiert werden. Da der Univention Server sämtliche andere Systeme im Netzwerk kennt, kann deren Bareos-Konfiguration zentral erzeugt werden. Da Bareos zudem OPSI-Pakete zur Verfügung stellt, lassen sich auch Windows-Systeme zentral mit Bareos versorgen. |  | Sebastian Lederer (dass IT) |
