Open Source NetBSD Archiving Software

DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html

Additional error correction for CD, DVD and BD media.

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

Nixstaller is an Open Source project with the goal to create user friendly and flexible installers that work on various UNIX like systems. Some of its features are: small size overhead, large compatibility, Lua scripting and few dependencies.

Simple script of backup using tar for *NIX systems and written in bash, very easy to suit whatever backup policy, using complete, incremental or parcial backups. It has some features for esample mail notification, index of files, error notices, etc.

Monitoring tool for Symantec Netbackup backup software, written in Perl with Curses. Press "h" to see all available options. If you have any ideas or suggestions just email me.

this is simple backup client<=>server oriented system; you put the server on the machine you want to backup; and the client on the machine used for storage;

Simple backup script for DVDRAM media written in Perl.

bashup is a shell script for backing up data on remote hosts. It has minimal requirements and features sophisticated reporting and rotation functions.

CMage provides the ability to create an image of a filesystem on an IDE/SATA device and apply the image to a second hard drive of either IDE or SATA with a smaller, equal, or larger device size. CMage is run from a linux based liveCD on the terminal.

dumpnet is a collection of bash scripts that allows you to backup multiple servers simultaneously. You can do incremental file system dumps with tar, dump and rsync, backup databases and much more. AIDE can also easily be integrated.

GNOME CD/DVD Recording Software

r5backup is a backup script using rsync and ssh to make backups. It can handle remote hosts, is rapid and reliable. r5backup comes with 5 scripts: the main backup script, a scheduler, a launcher for remote invocation, an admin tool and a recover tool

Utilizes common unix utilities to provide a simple backup solution. Like Apple's Time Machine, sbak uses hard-links to minimize disk usage. Reduces data transfer by using compressed rsync transfers. Web interface and subscription service coming soon.
