I will try to believe that you just didn't know how it works, and your assumption is done because you're still too new to know correctly the software. Bareos, as Bacula, can be setup the way you want, (sometimes you will have to think differently), but it can do almost everything. Yes as any complex and highly configurable software, it take time to get it. There's partner, and consultants (Bareos GmbH being one) around that can offer you support, help for setup and configuration, and/or trainings. The manual is almost one thousand page (A4) long. And by default the configuration proposed (on community, or subscription binary) contain all needed to make file disk backup, with GFS rotation. Which can be a good start to learn how it works. Every line in the conf file is also commented, with back reference to the manual.
