+Bareos (Manage backup, recovery) - Client and server
+
+Bareos is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system admin) to
+manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network
+of computers of different kinds. In technical terms, it is a network
+Client/Server based backup program. Bareos is relatively easy to use and
+efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make
+it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design,
+Bareos is scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting
+of hundreds of computers located over a large network.
+
+This script comes with a few options that can be set at build time, one of
+which is DATABASE. Supported databases include postgresql, mysql and sqlite3.
+By default mysql is selected, to disable or select another database, run:
+
+ DATABASE="" ./bareos.SlackBuild
+
+Some say that having everything under /opt/bareos can be more backup friendly
+for disaster recovery situations, and since the official documentation also
+mentions this prefix in quite a few places, running the script with:
+
+ OPT_PREFIX=yes ./bareos.SlackBuild
+
+will put (almost) everything into /opt/bareos directory.
+
+Another option worth mentioning is Bat, which by default comes disabled, and
+if enabled with BAT=yes variable, creates a package with desktop entries.
+Additionally, smtp delivery agent is assumed running on localhost, and job
+announcements and core dumps are sent to root@localhost email address. Both
+can be changed with EMAIL and SMTPHOST variables.
+
+For more information on upgrading from previous version and from Bacula
+see README.SLACKWARE that came with this package (which is also installed
+with the documentation).
