REAR hosted by Gratien D´haese REAR (RElax And Recover) is an open source tool that automatically gathers all information from a Linux system needed for system recovery in case of a crash. This includes file-system-layout, Kernel, modules and so on. REAR can create an according boot-medium for system recovery of that machine. While REAR takes care of the basic system layout, Bareos is used to restore of the system disk from backup. In this workshop Gratien D’haese – one of the main-authors of REAR – will guide through the setup of REAR and Bareos to get a working BMR solution. To come prepared to the REAR workshop please follow the instructions as described under https://github.com/rear/rear-workshop-osbconf-2016		Gratien D’haese is a Belgian independent IT Consultant who is already over 25 years active in the Unix world (and with Linux since its invention in 1991).

Backup Strategy in Clientmanagement with Opsi and Bareos In the recent time the world experienced an increasing number of ransomware and fishing attacks. These attacks target the userscomputers and the users directly. Usually the network is secured enough to resist such attacks on the central infrastructure. In thepast most companies focused their backup strategy to their central infrastructure and datastores. The companies computer clients usually weren’t part of their backup strategy. This talk will show you a small overview about the enterprise-ready open source clientmanagment system opsi. opsi is a versatile and very flexible deployment and configuration management system for Windows and linux clients based on linux servers. Erol will explain client backup strategies. Then he will show how bareos does fit into the opsi system and how they complement each other.		Erol Ueluekmen is part of uib GmbH since 2003. uib GmbH is the developer of opsi. Aside from this he worked as a IT-Consultant in a large datacenter in Wiesbaden, Germany for 5 years. There he mainly focused on infrastructuremanagment of Unix, Linux, Windows, ActiveDirectory, Samba and a Citrix WTS-Farm. His responsibilities also included network infrastructure monitoring and backup solutions. During this time he learned how to handle issues on large networks. It was not just then that his toolset was focussed on open source. Today Erol is one of uib gmbh’s managing directors.
Building a Business Continuity Plan with Bareos and Rear Business Continuity (BC) Management is often confused with Disaster Recovery (DR) Planning as often BC steps are mentioned as part of a DR handbook. During this talk we will highlight what BC is all about and how to get started with it. Creating a DR Plan for certain key systems is only a small part of BC Management and as an example we will illustrate how a central backup server (using Bareos backup software) plays an important role in DR scenarios of keys systems of your datacenter. We will explain how Relax-and-Recover (rear), a Linux DR tool, can be integrated with Bareos backup software to fill the DR gab and as such using Bareos to restore the system from scratch again. Using the right tools for each task, rear for the bare-metal preparation and Bareos for the restore, is the perfect match.

The backup report of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena Compared to a company, there are some characteristics at an university like the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Many faculties have different IT knowledge and each has its own kingdom. In summary there exists a great heterogeneous infrastructure. Last year we have migrated our backup infrastructure to Bareos. Particular topics: User self-service, difference of desktop and server backup, NDMP of our Isilon and monitoring.		Since his studies and university employments Thomas Otto is a system administrator for Unix/Linux systems. He is engaged in OpenAFS, OpenLDAP, GPFS, Debian and several database systems. At the Friedrich Schiller University Jena he is responsible for the backup system and migrated the existing backup systems to Bareos.
The Database Backup is Done – What Next? “Nobody wants to do a backup – but everybody demands a restore”: This is a pointed description as seen by many system or database administrators. Only the fact that restore cannot be had without backup ensures that they are given the resources for backup. But creating a backup does not settle the matter. In their very own interest, admins must ensure that restore will really work, that the backup has no hidden damage or is otherwise unsuitable. So a test system is needed to perform and verify a restore. The result should not be simply overwritten: It is real live data, available on a system which is neither loaded nor changed by production! These are perfect conditions to do load-intensive evaluations, create excerpts for billing or anonymize the data so that they may be used as snapshots for developments and tests. All this can be automated, and data privacy rules can be fit in. I will present the relevant scripts and settings of a MySQL setup with about 30 production instances (each a master-master replication), from which you may take the concepts and code snippets that fit your environment.		Since his university time, Joerg Bruehe has dealt with SQL data base systems, preferably on Unix platforms. After many years on the vendor side, he worked as a DBA with a web portal, having his focus on the MySQL installations – all the typical DBA tasks, especially automating the installation, backup, and restore verification. Now, he is a Senior Support Engineer with FromDual, helping the customers in support issues, delivering talks, and working on tools and packaging. FromDual deals with MySQL in all varieties (Percona, MariaDB), both with and without Galera Cluster, stand-alone or in replication setups.
Backup with Bareos and ZFS Doing backups is great, but storing the data somewhere is a whole different ballgame. You can use tapes, of course; but with always declining prices and increasing reliability of Hard Disks storing all your data as files is becoming more and more preferable. There is just the matter on how to save them. As single files in a single filesystem, shared across a multitude of servers or even in one large archive. The option is only limited by the Administrators imagination. In my speech I want to tell you about my experiences with storing all archives in ZFS. Opting for one-dataset-per-host, server-side compression, ZFS Raid and quota enforcement. And since we are all loving the fully automated approach I will show you how to do this in puppet. This option I am presenting you is in production. Hundreds of servers are fully automated with Puppet, Bareos/Bacula and ZFS. Back to overview		Christian Reiss, born 06.09.1979 in Recklinghausen, touched base with Linux in ’95. Running and hacking all sorts of Linux related things both professionally and as enthusiast; Bacula in Service since 2004, Bareos since 2014.

Backup of Scale – Bareos active clients and puppet Using central Bareos servers with hundreds of clients behind NAT can be quite a hassle. To enable the director to reach the clients one portforwarding per client has to be configured. This is a massive overhead in configuration and is contrary to normal server client architecture. To fix this Bareos GmbH & Co. KG developed a new feature called “active client” sponsored by Globalways AG. With the active client feature of Bareos and puppet as configuration management software maintaining a Bareos setup has become very easy. Just add a puppet Bareos class to the clients definition and the configuration of client and director is completely made by puppet. Even setups with TLS and PKI infrastructure can be achieved very easily using trocla as a password store.		Tobias Groß is a young computer scientist working since 2012 mainly with large server networks and linux. After reaching the bachelors degree at DHBW Stuttgart he applied for a job as linux system engineer at Globalways. One of his first projects was improving the time-consuming Bacula setup.
