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.​

...It sets and respects ZFS properties, places holds to protect in-use snapshots, and surfaces health issues so you notice problems before recovery time. Paired with its sibling syncoid, it also handles local and remote replication of incremental snapshots over SSH, supporting resume tokens, bandwidth shaping, and common accelerators like mbuffer. The design favors safety and observability: dry-run modes, verbose logging, and conservative defaults reduce the risk of accidental data loss. In production, Sanoid turns ZFS’s powerful but low-level primitives into dependable, auditable data protection for everything from home labs to multi-tenant servers.

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. ...

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. ...

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.

lmftp is a perl program to schedule file transfers via ftp on a onetime or regular basis. lmftp supports compression, local backups, email notifications and automatic retries of failed jobs. It's intended to be used for file distribution or backup jobs

Tools to Archive to CD/DVD and retrieve file from archive with archive tracking database backend. Tracks multiple copies of files across media, with options to dump and archive MySQL (Remote and local) databases and subversion repositories.

Perl Backup Machine is a backup utility that creates incremental backups of files and directories to a local or networked folder. Perl Backup Machine allows to restore the whole saved file to their original place or to another directory.

BackupPC4AFS is a version of BackupPC modified to backup OpenAFS volumes to a backup server's local disk or attached RAID. It supports full and multi-level incremental dumps, exponential expiry, and configuration via conf files or a web interface.

Cmmi helps you to simplify your installation process from '.tar.gz' source archives. You can be a package manager of your local site, if you are not an expert of your OS. Cmmi can make .deb, .rpm, Slackware and cygwin packages efficiently.

The Debian partial mirror synch scripts allows to build/upgrade a local partial mirror from a Debian package mirror (using rsync).

cdbkup performs full or incremental backups of local or remote filesystems onto CD-R(W)s. Results are stored as tarballs on single- or multi-session ISO CDs. It works either interactively for multi-CD backups, or non-interactively for single-CD backups.
