EVACopy is a backup program that has versioning and easy restoration in mind. It's light-weight, portable (no setup required, no dependencies, no repository, no database), easily deployed to multiple workstations, simple to use. ideal for home users too

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

The aim of the project is to develop an open source iSCSI target with professional features, works well in enterprise environment under real workload, and is scalable and versatile enough to meet the challenge of future storage needs and developements.

Clean is a program that searches for backup files and such identified by regular expressions in a ~/.cleanrc, and deletes them: possibly interactively with a per-file y/n decision, or in a batch mode. Clean is written in C and targets Unix/POSIX.

A slightly reduced strength bulk encryption. In exchange for the reduced strength, you get the ability to rsync the encrypted files, so that local changes in the plaintext file will result in (relatively) local changes to the cyphertext file.

cd2iso is a small command line tool for creating an ISO-9660 image file of a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Perfect for taking backup of your CD and DVD collection.

phpEasyVCS is a simple version control system (VCS) with minimal hosting requirements, namely PHP 5.2+. No database is needed. Files can be viewed and uploaded with a browser or by WebDAV, which allows you to access the files like a local drive in all operating systems. For integration with other software a REST service is provided. It is very easy to view the file versions at a specific point in time. The web interface allows you to easily compare file versions and synchronize and merge local files with the files in phpEasyVCS. It is possible to host multiple repositories and define multiple users with full, read-only or no access to each of the repositories.

This application is intended to make a diff files for the backup purposes. Imagine that you have a VM with 10GB vmdk file that you backup every day. So, you need to keep 100GB (let say 60GB with compression) for 10 days. However from those 10GB file only ~500MB is daily changed and you can shrink your backup storage to 15GB, if you keep only the daily difference. The BinDiff makes this job for you. Initially you make a full copy of vmfk file (let's say every month or two). That time you also make a hash file to track the block changes. You keep the hash file (which is small enough) and every day make a differential file from vmdk file that you keep on the backup storage. Profit! For the recovery BinDiff merges the latest available diff file with the initial vmdk file and gives you the full vmdk on that day. You can also make/check md5 checksums if necessary. Note that BinDiff tracks 4kB block changes only (VMware vmdk does it and HyperV I guess too).

A CVS with simple architecture and easy interface. Use to sincronize automatically a directory, project or for backup. Works in any OS with Perl. FEATURES: web access; client/server; protocol compression; own chksum; Web Admin.

GitSync is a shell script designed to simplify the usage of the version control system GIT (see www.git-scm.com for more information) by providing a "do everything to sync my repository" command.

ACLbit is a command line tool to backup and restore POSIX ACLs on Linux file systems. The tool uses its backup database to inspect ACLs and provide fast and clear output of effective access rights.

A Java-based command-line tool for automatically removing old backups selectively. It can be used when you already make daily backups on disk, and want to clean them up while still keeping some of the ones made weeks, months or years ago.

A useful collection of batch files and scripts for daily purposes (backup, security, system management, etc.) and development

ROBOCOPY.EXE halts with a "Runtime error R6002" (after a certain # files or dirs). So I decided to write my own version, in Perl. I'm striving to have the output be *identical* to Robocopy's output, so existing scripts will not break.

A project to provide change control for OpenDocument files via subversion under Unix. Can check in internal changes in files and allows users to recover any previous version, view logs and compare with older versions.

The Personal Backup Appliance is a VMware virtual appliance that can clone, backup, and restore your hard disk over the network. Our goal is to provide an open-source bare-metal backup and restore utility that is powerful, simple and easy to use.
