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).

...The following filesystems are supported: - Ext2/3/4, - NTFS, - XFS, - ReiserFSv3/4, - FAT12/16/32, - MinixFS1/2, - JFS, - HFS/HFS+, - OCFS. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. Additionally, WipeFreeSpace can finalize wiping the filesystem by writing blocks of zeros, which is friendly for sparse files, virtual systems and other places where zeroed-out space is not physically allocated. See the project homepage https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To prevent clear-text data from being left on the drive in the first place, you can use LibSecRm (https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io), which wipes the data on-the-fly.

JDiskMark is a powerful and versatile disk benchmarking tool written in Java, designed to help accurately measure the performance of your storage devices across different operating systems. Whether you're testing HDDs, SSDs, or network drives, JDiskMark provides reliable insights into your disk's read and write...

btrbk is a snapshotting and backup tool tailored for Btrfs that automates consistent, incremental backups using btrfs send/receive. It creates atomic snapshots of subvolumes, then efficiently transfers only changed blocks to local or remote targets over SSH. A declarative configuration describes sources, targets, and retention policies (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly), and btrbk enforces pruning so backup stores don’t grow without bound. The tool supports hierarchical setups—many subvolumes to many destinations—and can throttle, pre/post-hook, and verify operations for reliability. ...

Efficient Client-Server Backup system for Linux, macOS and Windows. A client for Windows, FreeBSD and Linux lets you backup open files and complete partition images (Windows). Backups are stored to disks in a efficient way (deduplication) on either Windows or Linux servers.

Partition Image is an utility to save partitions (ext2/3fs, reiserfs, fat16, fat32, hpfs, ntfs) into an image file. Only used blocks of the partition are saved, and the image can be compressed in gzip or bzip2 format. You can split the image into small f

noflushd is a Linux daemon that monitors disk activity and spins down idle disks. It then blocks further writes to the disk to prevent it from spinning up again. Writes are cached and flushed to disk when the next read request triggers a spin-up.

sparsedd (sdd) is a substitute for the unix dd command which uses lseek(2) where possible when copying blocks of null bytes, in order to take advantage of the sparse storage implementation of the underlying filesystem.

Basic Compression Library is a portable library of well known compression algorithms, such as Huffman coding, written in standard ANSI C. It is intended to serve as a set of building blocks for specialized compression algorithms.
