Open Source Backup Software - Page 37

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

This is a simple backup utility for memory sticks. The target is not a full backup utility. It's just to get a redundant copy of a stick on a local machine. Addending to just synchronizing, it doesn't delete files on the target, it does archiving them.

midget is a small smb-share based backup script intended for use in unattended environments where finding a person to entrust with gory details of filesystem hierarchy and all the dirty details of creating backups is next to impossible.

This system is a set of scripts written in bash and a few tools are written in c++. The package is designed for network backup for SMB protocol, and local resources.

Command-line hash file checker/creator. Supports .sfv, .md5, .sha1 and .sha2, and is easily extendable. Includes animated progress bars and recursive directory handling. Supports large numbers of files. Includes AppleScript droplets for use on Mac OS X.

Gnome applet mrBurns is a frontend for cdrecord. It supports drag and drop of files with gmc. Pretty quick to use. Burning cds is only one click away.

Bacula FD Plugin for Microsoft SQL Server

This command line program can be used to synchronize local directories with an MTP device like an MP3-Player or a digital camera. The program uses the gphoto2 library.

MXArchiver is an archiver like tar or zip but tuned for fast file access and efficient incremental backups. Incremental backup has provisions for only storing the changes within a file to support efficient handling of e.g. virtual machine images or database files.

mylvmdump uses LVM snapshots to create MySQL database backups in scenarios where both a high database availability as well as textual dumps (instead of binary file copies) are required.

mysql_innodb_backup is just an 'automation' and 'simplification' of existing MySQL server command tools. It can be called with one line to backup or restore InnoDB or MyISAM databases without interrupting operations.

Yet another mysqldump rapper, that works with e.g. rsnapshot

nFolderSink synchronizes multiple source folders with the target folders. nFolderSink has a GUI interface from which synchronization can be done. nFolderSink can also be run from the command line using documents generated by the GUI. Great for backups

narc provides simple and efficient "snapshot-like" archiving of a file hierarchy over time on any Unix-like filesystem that supports hard links.

netWindow Serializer stores data contained in multiple web-browser windows automatically into a single data-file. It can also be used to recover web-browser windows in the event of system restart. Used as a file-archiving, book-marking and recovery tool.

The nmSync tool provides file synchronization among different platforms (Win32, OSX, BSD, ...) in networked or disconnected environments.

List all apps on android device that don't allow adb backup

File transfer using shared Folders in a local network with automatic synchronization. Also P2P-Folders will be implemented in the 2nd stage. Take advantage of Mesh-Network technologies for LAN operation.

A collection of shell scripts and documentation to allow a user to perform hourly, daily, weeky, monthly and yearly snapshot backups.

Opendmp is an implementation of the NDMP v4 protocol written in python.

Operating System ARCHIVER creates CD/DVD backup images for disaster recovery. Key features are Compact Size, Use of Native OS Utilities, Multiple RedHat Version Compatibility, Multi-Volume Capability, Parallel Compression, and Hardware Flexibility.

Small java Application to synchronize two folders (on different or the same mashine) in both directions. Compatible to JRE 1.4.

Packup saves a directory tree into a set of CDs or DVDs. It does incremental backup. Packup is intended for ocasional users that need to quickly make a backup they can trust, although they have little expertise.

A set of bash-functions (probably becomes scripts instead) that perform backups (full and incremental) on blockdevices with encryption and compression using standard tools like tar and mcrypt.
