Open Source Linux Backup Software - Page 5

** This project has moved to a new location: http://relax-and-recover.org/ ** Relax-and-Recover (Rear) is the leading Open Source disaster recovery solution, and successor to mkcdrec. It comprises of a modular framework and ready-to-go workflows for many common situations to produce a bootable image and restore from backup using this image. As a benefit, it allows to restore to different hardware and can therefore be used as a migration tool as well. Currently Relax-and-Recover supports various boot media (incl. ISO, PXE, OBDR tape, USB or eSATA storage), a variety of network protocols (incl. sftp, ftp, http, nfs, cifs) as well as a multitude of backup strategies (incl. IBM TSM, HP DataProtector, Symantec NetBackup, EMC NetWorker, Bacula, rsync). Relax-and-Recover was designed to be easy to set up, requires no maintenance and is there to assist when disaster strikes. Its setup-and-forget nature removes any excuse for not having a disaster recovery solution implemented.

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. This new approach has many advantages over the software running directly in the Hypervisor OS, as it can backup an unlimited number of servers from a centralized console and you don't need to install anything in the Hypervisor OS

cdbkup performs full or incremental backups of local or remote filesystems onto CD-R(W)s. Results are stored as tarballs on single- or multi-session ISO CDs. It works either interactively for multi-CD backups, or non-interactively for single-CD backups.

BmuS is a powerful free backup program for the automated backup of files, directories, and MySQL databases from a Linux / Raspberry Pi system to a NAS or network drive. You can also sync two NAS (i.e. Synology to Synology or UGREEN etc. and vice versa). BmuS can be installed directly on the source system or via a Docker repository, which is also available. With Docker, you can easily use BmuS on different operating systems, such as a Mac or Windows. Visit the Quick Start Guide and FAQ on how to install Docker and Bmus on a Mac or Windows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksfYJlpqfCw BmuS features encryption, deduplication, Cloud Backups and much more. One of the key features that has received special attention (or is it called “Love”?) is the dashboard ( https://www.back-me-up-scotty.com/dashboards/bmus_dashboard.html ), which is probably the most unique feature of BmuS, apart from the fact that only a few backup tools can back up files AND MySQL-DB.

bKappa is a 2009 experiment in crude but transparent and cross-platform incremental backup. bKappa backups are simple directory trees and lists of files. They are easy to browse and examine and do not use symbolic or hard links. It is crude in the sense that bKappa only tracks files by name, not by content. This means it cannot detect that a file has been renamed and makes full copies of renamed and partially modified files. It generates standalone restore scripts for the POSIX shell and PowerShell. While it saw real use, bKappa isn't tested enough to be your main backup software. If you are looking for that, BorgBackup and restic are good options as of 2024. Warning! Old 1.x versions of bKappa are insecure. Do not use them. Because backup metadata is serialized with the "pickle" Python module (https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/pickle.html), a malicious backup can take over your machine.
