...It uses rsync to take manual or scheduled snapshots and stores them locally or remotely through SSH. Each snapshot is in its own folder with copies of the original files, but unchanged files are hard-linked between snapshots to save storage space. It was inspired by FlyBack.

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems. It leverages rsync and hard links to create efficient incremental backups, allowing users to maintain multiple backups without consuming excessive disk space.​

Clonezilla is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image®. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (Server Edition).

PathScan exports information about the contents of directories and hard drives. With a single click, users can create a complete list of all files and paths within a specific folder or across an entire hard drive. The PathScan script can be used in a variety of scenarios, especially where you need to gather information about files and directories on a Windows system.

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

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. ...

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up Linux, Windows, and macOS systems to a central server using rsync, tar, SMB, or FTP. It uses hard-linking and compression to efficiently store multiple backups of the same files and offers a web interface for administration and restore. BackupPC is suitable for environments where centralized, disk-based backups are needed.

...It creates incremental backups of files and directories, placing each snapshot in its own timestamped folder so you can restore files by simply copying them from the backup tree. Unchanged files between backups are represented as hard links, which means you get a full snapshot view of each backup while using minimal additional disk space. The script supports both local and remote destinations over SSH, making it suitable for backing up to external drives, NAS devices, or remote servers. On macOS it lacks some Time Machine automations like plug-and-backup or a dedicated restore GUI, but it compensates with the ability to work on Linux and Windows (via WSL or Cygwin) and to target any filesystem, including encrypted ones such as TrueCrypt volumes.

- Make a backup of any Linux-compatible devices (hard disks, partitions, LVM, VirtualMachine file images). - Make a full, incremental or differential backup optimized for offline storage. - Management of complex structures, possibility of merging backup branches. - Native and optimized support for multi core/cpu systems. - Built-in support for AES256 encryption. - Made in python3, developed specifically for Debian GNU/Linux, issued under the GPLv3 license.

snap2 is a powerful rsync-based backup program (shell script) for Linux desktop PCs. It has a user-friendly GUI. It creates automatically-rotating 'snapshot' backups, or a mirror backup. It can also be run non-interactively, via cron.

ancha is a backup and restore application storing backups in directories of the (local) file system. These may include USB hard disks and network shares. ancha is not intended to store backups on tapes or other raw devices.

Chronicle is a set of BASH shell scripts that use rsync to back up data to a remote host. Snapshots are created and rotated using hard links to minimize storage requirements.

What's ? Tux2live is a toolkit to build your Linux live environment from what you installed in hard disk and it's easy to customize and configure. Official web site: [En] http://tux2live.sourceforge.net/ [zh_TW] http://tux.nchc.org.tw/trac/tux2live

Java backup tool providing file level data deduplication: If a file is stored, it is never stored a second time unless the file's content changes. Instead, a reference to the stored data is created. This holds true even if the file is moved or renamed.

A snapshot based backup system. If snapshots aren't available hard links, sym links or copies are used instead. The backed up tree is always directly usable and does not need a backup client to decipher.

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync. rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code uses hard links whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required.

Sith'Ari is an disk backup solution, based on hard links. Daily snapshots are built on the previous, then updated. Only modified files are stored. Sith'Ari Backup stands for : Synched Incremental Time Historical Archiver Rapid Imager Backup

Simple python script for keeping a backup set with an arbitrary frequency and any number of surviving snapshots. Uses the rsync reference directory feature to minimize space by using file hard links. Launch it from /etc/crontab.

For those at home who want to backup there precious data files but don't know nothing about backup. A white paper (Seperate download) explains creating backups and the script use. The script is readable, creates extensive logging and with restore script

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.

rsback makes rotating backups using the common rsync program combined with hard-link copies on Unix-based backup hosts. This results in a fast and disk space saving backup technique. No more updates of rsback will be published here. Current versions are available here: https://www.pollux.franken.de/projekte/rsback

This application, based on the command-line utility psync, is designed to allow novice computer users to backup either one part of their hard drive or the entire hard drive to another computer. In addition, it allows users to schedule backups.

The Personal Backup Appliance is a VMware virtual appliance that can clone, backup, and restore your hard disk over the network. Our goal is to provide an open-source bare-metal backup and restore utility that is powerful, simple and easy to use.

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.

dvd copy does what the name implies, it copies the main feature of a dvd to the hard drive then shrinks it down to fit on a 4.7GB dvd then burns it to a dvd. This is good for making backup copies of dvds you legally own.
