Free virtual appliance to backup and replicate Linux servers and ©VMWare ©ESXi virtual machines from version 5.1 to 8.0. https://33hops.com/xsibackup-app-detailed-installation-instructions.html ©XSIBackup-App connects to multiple Linux or ©ESXi servers and backs VMs & files up to, local disk, NFS, iSCSI, Samba, etc... or to any Linux or ©ESXi server over IP, it just needs the SSH port open. This appliance is based in CentOS 7 and has root access. You can install any available software, including drivers for Amazon S3, Azure, Google Cloud, etc... We have improved speed with regards to the hypervisor service versions, mainly due to more flexible buffering. It follows the same principles and command line arguments as ©XSIBackup-DC.

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.

Vchanger may be used with the Bacula Open Source network backup system to emulate a magazine-based tape autoloader using disk partitions on fixed or removable disk drives as virtual magazines and files on those partitions as virtual tape volumes.
