AnyBackup is designed to keep two pools of volumes in sync with one another. The primary use case is backing up one large network array to several smaller volumes. These syncs are intended to be periodic and user initiated. Disclaimer: AnyBackup is not an enterprise solution and I make no guarantees and offer no warranties. I have been using it to keep up to date backups of ~11tb of data for the duration of the project and I've suffered no data loss as a result. This, however, does not mean that through bugs or user error data loss cannot occur.

Using this project you can make backup and track changes of configuration of network devices like switches, routers, etc.

Cedar Backup manages backups for a pool of local and remote machines. Backups can be written to CD or DVD. A variety of backup sources (filesystem, database repositories, revision control repositories, etc.) are supported. In mid-2015, development on Cedar Backup moved from SourceForge to BitBucket, and revision control changed from Subversion to Mercurial. Then, in mid-2019, development moved to GitHub. Historical releases and the original Subversion repository will stay here at SourceForge indefinitely. Please see: https://github.com/pronovic/cedar-backup3
