Differences between bareos.org / bareos.com

There are two websites bearing the name Bareos: bareos.org and bareos.com. As this often leads to misunderstanding, let's clarify: bareos.org is the project website while bareos.com is the company website of the identically named company Bareos.

 

We often get requests from Bareos users about the availability of maintenance releases. Please note the following about the release of packages:

 

Maintenance releases are, as source code, available to everyone. However, as packages (from a repository), they are only available to subscription customers on download.bareos.com.

 

The source code of Bareos is, of course, always freely available on github, so you can always compile the latest version of Bareos (including the maintenance releases) from source yourself. The professional service of building and testing quality assured packages, however, is a service only the Bareos company offers, and that through subscription.
