Open Source Python Backup Software - Page 2

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.

A special backup program for the SOHO sector. It implements a full-backup strategy, a mix between the backup schemes of GFS and Tower of Hanoi. It is meant for backing up onto DVDs or simular media normally via cron. Reports are sent via mail.

Archiving/backup framework written in Python. Uses archiving directives within the file system itself in the form of .archmanrc files; Python modules that specify which files and directories to include.

Arrowbase is a collection of tools for backup persoses. Together they combine a backup system that can be used on more then one Operating system. This makes the project not only widely spread but portable as wel.

Auto Migrator is a collection of python scripts that perform automated migrating(syncing) of files and folders.

Abs is a configurable, automated backup system for websites on FTP hosts. Sysadmin need only to set a configuration file for each domain. Project is now on GitHub https://github.com/mmilidoni/abs

Backup utility for small offices, written in Python. Features: zip, tar.gzip and tar.bz2 compression, predefined backup profiles, differential and incremental backups, file filters, file database with hashes, media sizes, multi-volume etc.

Backtory is a slim backup/restore software for unix-like operating systems, designed for stand-alone internet servers. It features differential backups, remote storage using various protocols as well as encryption/signing of backup archives.

BaGoMa backs-up and restores the contents of a GMail account. It can restore all the labels (folder structure), as well as the flags (seen/read, flagged) of a message.

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.

Barman (Backup and Recovery Manager) is an enterprise-grade tool for managing backups and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL databases. It supports both full and incremental backups, Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR), and remote backup via SSH. Barman is widely used by DBAs to ensure secure, reliable, and consistent backups in production environments.

CAIRN is a modular copy and restore program for the imaging of a computer. It copies every file on a computer and figures out how to recreate it from scratch. It is primarily network oriented but is also flexible enough to boot from any possible method.

A useful collection of batch files and scripts for daily purposes (backup, security, system management, etc.) and development

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

Cloud Export is a tool to automatically extract your data from web applications and save it to your local file system for backup purposes, but more extensive than Google Takeout. Plans are based on http://www.dataliberation.org.

This program converts a dvd into a dvd image. Could do the same for cdroms or other media like it. Will not copy protected disks. Features one click copying with a progress bar and dvd tray eject/load. Written in python with wxPython.

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.

This project provides an open-source setup for IPFS Kubo (public and private pinning) combined with IPFS Cluster replication, designed for reliable, production-ready decentralized storage. It is suitable for developers, infrastructure operators, and Web3 projects that need predictable IPFS availability without maintaining complex node infrastructure. The system supports multiple retention plans for IPFS Kubo pinning, allowing users to choose how long data remains pinned, with transparent pay-per-GB prepaid pricing. Retention options include short-term and long-term storage, making it suitable for websites, datasets, backups, and distributed applications. For higher availability, IPFS Cluster replication is available with 1, 2, or 3 replicas, enabling redundancy across nodes and improved resilience against node failure. Bandwidth usage is tracked separately, with included allowances and predictable overage pricing.https://github.com/branislav1989/ipfs-kubo-private-public-ipfs-cluste

Content Based File level Data Backup in Python. This is a utility to backup your files. It can do full and incremental backups. It will take a directory as input, and will back up the files in that folder and all sub-folders to the backup destination directory. It can compress each file individually while backing-up. Mirrors the source directory structure under the target directory. Creates 1 archive file for each source file. Even if the backup/restore program or backup database is not available or lost, the backup files and structure can still be recovered. Huge plus for reliability. Uses a SQL database to manage backup file information. The files are managed through their checksum (SHA256). See wiki page for additional information: https://sourceforge.net/p/filebasedbackup/wiki/Home/ The project is work in progress. Main backup script is functional, but i have taken a break from adding features to the main program to build a GUI in Tkinter.

Fleuron is a silent flash drive copier. When a flash drive is connected, Fleuron automatically starts copying the data with a Breadth First Search algorithm. In this way, the root directories are copied first and as time passes, deeper directories are copied. Fleuron also randomly stops for random amounts of seconds to allow the drive to be safely removed and to avoid detection. Fleuron can be used for data backup, flash synchronization and undetectable data copying. Note: Currently Fleuron only works on Linux systems.

Fnokii is a simple file transfer Gtk+ GUI for gnokii. It supports upload, download and delete files in well-known mobile phone folders.

- 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.

Ibackup is a python program performing an "intelligent" backup of a Linux system on CD-ROMs. The backup is intelligent because it omits all files that can be restored from the RPMs on the installation (and additional) CD-ROMs. This reduces the time (and

JabSync is a program intended to synchronize the rosters of two (or more) distinct Jabber accounts. It is written in Python and uses the jabberpy library.
