Tech Preview: Backup Checkpoints

We have just published a new major version of our Open Source backup 
solution. Among other things, the Bareos 22 release contains an enhanced 
VMware plugin, major performance improvements, and a technical preview 
of the new Checkpoints feature.



Enhanced VMware Plugin

The VMware plugin 
 
has been creating full and incremental backups since Bareos 15.2. While 
the plugin could only restore existing virtual machines (VM) in earlier 
versions, it is also possible to create new VMs from the backups as of 
Bareos 22. Administrators can now select folders, hosts, clusters, or 
datastores for this purpose. To avoid conflicts with other VMs, the 
VMware UUID and MAC address can be regenerated. In addition, a restore 
is now also possible via the Bareos WebUI.


The developers have upgraded the VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) to 
the current version 8.0.0. The plugin now supports vSphere 8 and is 
backward compatible with vSphere 6.7 and 7.



Increased I/O Performance of Python Plugins

Python plugins for the Bareos File Daemon (FD) now support direct I/O in 
the Bareos core, instead of having to take a diversion via the Python 
code for read and write. This may not be possible or useful for every 
plugin, but appropriately adapted plugins can double their performance. 
A backup via the Python plugin is now just as fast as a backup directly 
via the File Daemon.



Optimized Support for Ceph

In future, only the Droplet Storage Backend 
 is used to back up Ceph storage. As described in the Bareos documentation , it backs up Ceph targets via S3 and thus guarantees optimal performance. If Ceph is the source, it’s mounted in the regular file system and the standard File Daemon takes care of the backup.


The developers have removed the deprecated RADOS/Ceph backend and the 
Cephfs plugin. If previously installed, the packages 
/bareos-storage-ceph/ and /bareos-filedaemon-ceph-plugin/ need to be 
removed manually.



New Packages and Features

Bareos 22 consolidates several RHEL platforms and now provides one 
single package for the derivatives. The developers have also added 
Ubuntu 22.04, Fedora 36 and 37, RHEL 9 derivatives (Rocky Linux, 
AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, CentOS Stream), and openSUSE/SLES 15.4 to the 
list of supported distributions.


Packages for compatible platforms (RHEL derivatives, openSUSE/SLES, 
Debian/Univention Corporate Server) are only built once. The automated 
tests against all platforms remain. As a result, the number of download 
directories of the repositories is reduced.


The developers have further modernized the Bareos code and revised it to 
comply with the C⁠+⁠+⁠20 standard. Since there are no suitable C⁠+⁠+⁠20 
compilers for all platforms yet, the code is still compiled with 
C⁠+⁠+⁠17 options.


As a Tech Preview, the developers have introduced a first version of the 
so-called backup checkpoints. The feature allows restoring from 
incomplete backup jobs. As of Bareos 22, it is possible to restore 
already backed up files from backup jobs that have not yet been 
successfully completed. Future releases will be able to resume failed or 
incomplete jobs.


For more information, please see our press release 
. 
Packages and release notes are now available on our download servers.
