Open Source Solaris 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

Development of this project has been moved to https://github.com/jessek/hashdeep. This site has been left for historical purposes ONLY. Please visit the GitHub site for current development. Computes the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Tiger, or Whirlpool message digest for any number of files while optionally recursively digging through the directory structure. Can also match input files against lists of known hashes in a variety of formats.

Advanced archiver (zpaq fork) with deduplication and versioning. Never prune your backups: keeps a forever-to-ever copy (even thousands of versions) of your files, conceptually similar to Mac time machines, or zfs' snapshots, but much more efficiently. Ideal for virtual machine backup and "freezing" zfs snapshots forever. Easily handles millions of files and TBs of data. Allows rsync backups to the cloud (or NAS, or USB) with minimal data transfer, encryption and very limited bandwidth. Highest possibilities of data verification, fast, deep and even paranoid-level, with support for multithread acceleration on SSD/NVMe (real world 1GB/s+). Freeware Win GUI (PAKKA) here https://www.francocorbelli.it/pakka/build/latest No complex repository folders, just one file. Latest "hashers" (SHA-3, BLAKE3 w/HW acceleration on Win, XXH3) 15+ years of developing (2009-now). Seeing is believing! https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/wiki

uCON64 is a tool to backup all kinds of video games. It supports almost every available backup unit for cartridge-based consoles and performs many other tasks like ROM hacking.

These tools are used to view information about, and to control, Media Changer devices such as Tape and DVD/CD libraries.

X-CD-Roast is a flexible frontend for optical disc authoring. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", "readcd" and "mkisofs" into a nice GTK based graphical user interface.

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.

wview is a unix application for weather stations. It archives weather data from the station. Generates full html web sites with graphics. ftp/ssh export capability. MySQL/PostgreSQL archiving. International. Weather alarms. Data feed. RSS feed.

Easy-to-use multi-platform disk cataloguing program supporting local or removable media - drives and folders. Uses XML files as a data storage. It was originally created in 2010 to catalogue software compilations (also called freeware compilations) and CDs distributed with computer magazines. It was later improved to support any kind of disk and folder. It can be used to catalogue fragile disks like CDs, floppies, external hard drives, usb sticks, memory cards which are easy to damage. Cataloguing enables user to check what they contain without putting them physically into drive and avoid a possibility of a mechanical damage. Download package consists of a jar file and a Eclipse project with a full source code. No installation is required. You can copy this program anywhere or transfer it to another computer. Setting unique volume label to a drive before cataloguing is recommended. See blog or homepage for news and changelog. This program requires JRE 6 or newer.

crcRepair is a utility that is able to fix corrupt files by consulting a database and file mirrors. It is written in pure Java, so it can be used on all platforms with the Java JRE installed.

KBackup is an easy-to-use backup package for Unix. It was originally writen by Karsten Balluder. Currently, it's development has stagnated, and several fixes are needed. The main mailing-list for KBackup is in egroups (www.egroups.com).

NDMJOB is a NDMP-compatible backup/restore package, reference implementation, and conformance test. NDMP is an open protocol for network based backup enabling multi-vendor backup solutions. Please see http://www.ndmp.org for more information.

This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.

BackUp Tool is a small Perl script that is periodically executed to created backups of certain projects/directory's and only adds the backup if changes have been made since the last time a backup has been made, to do this it makes use of md5 checksums.
