Open Source Linux Backup Software - Page 24

A "human-like" CD/DVD disc-based backup script aimed at being easy to use and powerful. Its most notable feature is the way it groups common files/directories together to preserve structure when data is distributed onto discs.

A backup utility used for small to mid-sized backup systems. (It is best used to save your host-specific configurations on a central backup host.)

This is a kind of vcs or archive tool mainly desinged for binary data. It is similar to vcs tools like git, hg, git-annex or boar. Main design goal ist - to deal with hugh binary data files - partial pull/push handling - immutable data archive - simple metadata format of archive - due to immutability other backup tools like rsync or copy could be used alternatively - platform independent

Braincracks acts like a continuous snapshoting filesystem / versioning filesystem. It monitors folders for files changes (each X seconds) and saves a copy of files when they change. It is made of 3 Bourne Shell scripts (1 bin, 1 daemon, 1 service).

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. Because it uses native Btrfs primitives, restores are fast and space-efficient, and replicas can be mounted instantly for inspection. Clear logging and dry-run modes make it safe to adopt in production while giving operators visibility into every snapshot and transfer.

Canburn is simple program for testing directory structure in order to burning it to CD-ROM. It can be used to check files before burning them to CD.

A Nagios plugin for monitoring BackupPC.

This bash-script checks that backups are not too old, that the last backup had no errors, that all shares and subshares exist in the data root directory, etc. This plugin and the "check_backuppc" check sligtly different things, and in different was. You can use both... Tested on: BackupPC 3.2.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 Should work in most similar systems i think. Let me know otherwise (create a ticket!). Installation is easy: Just put the check-script inyour nagios server, and the other (included) script somewhere so that the check-script can find it (e.g. in the $PATH, or edit the check script for a custom location).
