Arkeia Disaster Recovery (commercial) This add-on automatically rebuilds a backed up client (or the Arkeia backup server) from scratch with a simple bootable CD solution. It avoids a long, tedious setup that can take precious hours (or days) of a system administrator's valuable time. Back In Time Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access. BackerUpper BackerUpper was designed to be a very simple to setup and maintain backup system. BackerUpper is intended to be executed by crond a little after midnight every day and performs a backup of the previous days changes. Backshift Backshift is a deduplicating (variable-sized, content-based blocks), compressing (xz or bz2) backup program. Full saves and incrementals are pretty indistinct other than the amount of data transmitted, somewhat like with "rsync --link-dest" but without the huge number of hardlinks. Backup Manager Backup Manager is a command line backup tool for GNU/Linux, designed to help you make daily archives of your file system.

BackupSW is a multi-platform application. BAR BAR is backup archiver program to create compressed and encrypted archives of files. Bareos Bareos (Backup Archiving REcovery Open Sourced) is a fork of the backup project from bacula.org. BASTRAMA Bastrama is a command-line tool to manage backup files that are stored on random access memory (e.g. hard drives). It implements an infinite grandfather-father-son strategy by deleting a defined subset of the backup files, therefore saving storage space while still keeping some of the older backups in case something went wrong (and needs to be restored from) a long time ago. Bigsync Bigsync is a tool to incrementally backup a big file to a slow destination (think network media or a cheap NAS). The most common cases for bigsync are disk images or virtual OSes or encrypted volumes. Box Backup Box Backup is an open source, completely automatic on-line backup system for UNIX: no tape or archive devices are used, all data is encrypted, and only changes within files are sent to the server, just like rsync. Bran Bran is a bacula based backup server solution. BRU Server (commercial) BRU Server for Linux is a native Linux backup software solution that protects critical information residing across your client/server network served by a Linux server system. BRU Server for Linux continues the heritage of providing Ultra-reliable Linux backup that began in 1994. Burp Burp is a backup and restore program. It uses librsync in order to save on the amount of space that is used by each backup. It also uses VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) to make snapshots when backing up Windows computers. c42 Backup Suite The c42-backup suite is a simple python program for maintaining a central backup in a small, but distributed environment with a central file share. Basically it is a wrapper around the tar backup facility. CDBackup CDBackup is a utility designed to make backups to CD- R(W) media easier. It is designed to work with any backup and restore software that can read from stdin,write to stdout, and can handle linear devices such as tape drives. Dump/restore, cpio, afio, and tar should all work fine. cdbkup cdbkup is a professional-grade open-source package for backing up filesystems onto CD-Rs or CD-RWs. It supports full or incremental backups, results are stored as GNU tarballs on ISO 9660 filesystems. Cedar Backup Cedar Backup is a Python package that supports backups of files on local and remote hosts to CD-R or CD-RW media over a secure network connection. Cedar Backup also includes extensions that understand how to back up MySQL databases and Subversion repositories, and it can be easily extended to support other data sources as well. CloneIt Created to copy and essentially clone harddisks of identical PCs through a network. This is a common task when installing server racks or farms or updating a computer-lab setup where one deals with identical machines. confstore Confstore is a configuration backup utility. Confstore scans your system for all recognised configuration files and then stores them in a simple archive. Confstore can also read these archives, restore configuration from them, upload them to a FTP server, mail them to an email account, encrypt them and maintain a master archive of all of them. cpio GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar. Crackup Crackup is a pretty simple, pretty secure remote backup solution for folks who want to keep their data securely backed up but aren't particularly concerned about bandwidth usage. Crackup is ideal for backing up lots of small files, but somewhat less ideal for backing up large files, since any change to a file means the entire file must be transferred. Cronopete Cronopete is an Apple's Time Machine clone for Linux. It aims to mimic Time Machine as closely as possible. dar dar is a shell command that backs up directory trees and files. It has been tested under Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, and is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Read more dbackup dbackup is a disk-based client-server backup system for Linux or other UNIX systems. It works on the principal that disks are cheaper and more reliable than tapes. dds2tar dds2tar can find any file within an archive on a DAT tape and start the extraction within 40 seconds on HP-DAT tape drives and other devices. Deduplicator Deduplicator is a simple and efficient data deduplicator that works by hard linking files that have the same content. DIASER Distributed Internet Archive System for Educational Repositories (DIASER) is an advanced backup volume management system with triple redundancy. A quick and low-cost way to make an environment more robust by backing up data in multiple places. DIBS Distributed Internet Backup System works by doing all its communication through email. The benefit of using email for transport is that clients behind firewalls or with intermittent connections to the Internet can use DIBS reliably. dkopp Dkopp is a program for copying or backing up disk files to DVD. Full or incremental backups can be made, with full or incremental DVD verification. Dkopp uses a GUI to navigate through directories to select or de-select files or directories at any level. Backup jobs can be saved for recurring use. New, deleted, and updated files are handled automatically, without re-editing the backup job. An incremental backup updates the same DVD used for a prior full backup. Large backup jobs can be done using multiple DVDs. A GUI restore function is also provided. Differences between disk and DVD can be reported in total, by directory and by file. DragonDisk DragonDisk is a file manager for the Amazon S3 service. It will back up, share, and organize your data thanks to an intuitive interface. Dump/restore Dump examines files in a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium. Subsequent incremental backups can then be layered on top of the full backup. dupli.back dupli.back is a backup tool built around the Duplicity backup engine. It's designed to enable users to easily create and manage backups on removable media such as external USB hard disks. Duplicity Duplicity backs up directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server. Déjà Dup Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the 'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regularly) and uses duplicity as the backend. Eloy Backup System Eloy is a command line backup system. You simply define the directories to back up, and Eloy does partial backups of all changes. You can easily list all changes and restore older versions of files and directories.
