⁠What is Bareos File Daemon?

The Bareos File Daemon (bareos-fd) is a client component of the Bareos backup solution that runs on systems to be backed up. It communicates with the Bareos Director to receive backup and restore instructions, and with the Storage Daemon to transfer file data.

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

⁠Usage

⁠Basic Usage

docker run -d \
  --name bareos-fd \
  -v /path/to/config:/etc/bareos \
  -v /:/data:ro \
  edeckers/bareos-fd

⁠Docker Compose

version: '3'
services:
  bareos-fd:
    image: edeckers/bareos-fd
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/etc/bareos
      - /:/data:ro
    restart: unless-stopped

⁠Configuration

Mount your Bareos File Daemon configuration file to /etc/bareos/bareos-fd.conf or provide the entire configuration directory at /etc/bareos.

⁠Volumes

• /etc/bareos - Configuration directory for the File Daemon
• /data - Mount the filesystem you want to back up (typically the host root /)

Note: The daemon runs as the bareos user by default. For full filesystem access during backups, consider running the container with --user root.

⁠Network

The File Daemon typically listens on port 9102 for connections from the Bareos Director. Ensure this port is accessible if running across different hosts.
