The record

Purpose: DRLM centrally manages GNU/Linux disaster recovery using Relax-and-Recover (ReaR).
Recovery: It manages ReaR installations and supports network boot and recovery for GNU/Linux systems.
Backup scheduling: DRLM can schedule ReaR installations and start backups remotely.
Backup methods: DRLM supports ReaR PXE and NETFS (NFS) output and backup methods.
Install options: The download page offers the latest production release as source archives in tgz and zip formats.
Supported server operating systems: The installation guide lists Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky Linux, RHEL, openSUSE Leap, and SLES versions as supported server operating systems.
Integrations: The documentation lists error reporting integrations for HP OpenView, Nagios, Zabbix, and email.
Security: The release notes state that DRLM added encrypted backup files and a security token for communication between server and client.
API: The installation guide identifies HTTPS on port 443 as the port used for the DRLM API.
Support: The project says professional support is available as a paid service, while free support is provided in contributors’ spare time when available.
Intended users: DRLM is described as a centralized management solution for small-to-large disaster recovery implementations using ReaR.
Notable limit: The installation guide assumes a minimal Linux distribution installation dedicated to running the DRLM server.
Backup features: The project documents incremental backups, encrypted backup files, and TLS-secured rsync backups.
Automation: DRLM can automatically install clients from the server; the client must be reachable over SSH for that workflow.
