⁠What is Bareos Director?

The Bareos Director (bareos-dir) is the central control component of the Bareos backup solution. It orchestrates all backup, restore, and verify operations by coordinating communication between File Daemons and Storage Daemons. The Director maintains the backup catalog, schedules jobs, and provides the management interface for the entire backup infrastructure.

Bareos (Backup Archiving REcovery Open Sourced) is a reliable, cross-network open-source backup solution that supports Linux, Windows, and macOS systems.

⁠Configuration

⁠Volumes

• /etc/bareos - Configuration directory for the Director
• /var/lib/bareos - Database and catalog storage location

Note: The daemon runs as the bareos user by default. Ensure the catalog volume has appropriate permissions for the bareos user to read and write database files.
