Open Source Solaris Backup Software - Page 2

This project is an attempt to make an open source, publicly available backup management application that works hand in hand with EMC storage products and Veritas configurations, along with dynamic application layer management for pre and post IO operation

Monitoring tool for Symantec Netbackup backup software, written in Perl with Curses. Press "h" to see all available options. If you have any ideas or suggestions just email me.

bashup is a shell script for backing up data on remote hosts. It has minimal requirements and features sophisticated reporting and rotation functions.

dumpnet is a collection of bash scripts that allows you to backup multiple servers simultaneously. You can do incremental file system dumps with tar, dump and rsync, backup databases and much more. AIDE can also easily be integrated.

mdbackup is written in perl and basically goes off and connects to a bunch of remote servers (defined in a file called mdtab) via ssh or a smb mount, rsyncs the data to a location on your local zpool and then snapshots the deepest parent zfs filesystem. Another script renames snaps to preserve them as monthlies or annuals and another script purges the remainder of snaps based on a retention policy defined in that severs configuration file, normally 21 nighties, 12 monthly and 7 annuals. It all runs from cronies. It does lots of nice logging and error checking and has nice health check scripts which can be used to integrate this with nagios. it's reasonably mature and stable, I rewrote if from bash to perl a year ago, but in concept it's been running g for 5 years ago, I started it using solaris express developers edition, zfs v10. I have 4 servers running mdbackup and I manage it all using subversion. As for releasing it into the wild I'm happy do do that, but there are

Provides a facility with which to duplicate full backup images, onto a defined set of media, and eject the media from a robotic library for disaster recovery in a Veritas NetBackup environment.

Take either manual or scheduled backups using find, egrep, cpio and bzip. Supports weekly full backups, exclusions and compression. See http://bandcamp.tv/quickbackup for mailing list info and downloads

r5backup is a backup script using rsync and ssh to make backups. It can handle remote hosts, is rapid and reliable. r5backup comes with 5 scripts: the main backup script, a scheduler, a launcher for remote invocation, an admin tool and a recover tool

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.

Yet Another Rsync Backup Utility (YARBU). A robust but powerful snapshot-like rolling backup utility with email notification and straightforward configuration.
