Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced (bareos) is a set of computer programs that permits you (or the system administrator) 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.. https://www.bareos.com/

Interoperability Saliency: Backup System ABB is salient for technical interoperability because it provides a secure mechanism to recover important information in case of unexpected behaviour of public administration services.
