DarGUI is a front end to the Disk ARchive (Dar) program for Linux and Windows (64 bit). It provides a simple way to create and restore backup archives in Dar format. DarGUI is written in Pascal using FreePascal and the Lazarus IDE.

A simple keylogger written in python. It is primarily designed for backup purposes, but can be used as a stealth keylogger, too. It does not raise any trust issues, since it is a set of [relatively] short python scripts that you can easily examine.

MFS Tools is a set of utilities for those who wish to get the most out of their TiVo. The primary focus is in backing up TiVo drives, and adding extra video storage capacity. Other simple utilities not directly related to TiVo upgrades are included.

X-CD-Roast is a flexible frontend for optical disc authoring. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", "readcd" and "mkisofs" into a nice GTK based graphical user interface.

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.

ljArchive is a tool for downloading, browsing, and analyzing journal entries and comments from LiveJournal (or LiveJournal clones).

Simplebackup is a cross-platform backup program. It reads a configuration file then builds a compress backup set, finally places the compressed files into another location (a directory, a remote http,ftp,sftp server or even one or more email accounts).

Amanda is the most popular Backup and Archiving software that protects multiple machines running various versions of Linux, UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It supports tapes, disks, optical media and changers.

This program runs on Debian-based Linux systems and performs raw cloning from disk to disk, disk to image, and image to disk. It is powered by the dd tool.

REOBack (pronounced as ray-o-back), is a backup solution designed for Linux users/system admins. It supports scheduled full/incremental backups, remote transfers via NFS or FTP as well as auto-deletion of old backups.

pghoard is a PostgreSQL backup and restore tool that provides encrypted, compressed, and cloud-optimized backups. Developed by Aiven, it supports streaming WAL archiving and full base backups to various cloud storage backends. pghoard is designed for reliability and fast disaster recovery in cloud-native PostgreSQL deployments.

Backup and migrate Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes. Velero is an open source tool to safely backup and restore, perform disaster recovery, and migrate Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Reduces time to recovery in case of infrastructure loss, data corruption, and/or service outages. Enables cluster portability by easily migrating Kubernetes resources from one cluster to another​. Offers key data protection features such as scheduled backups, retention schedules, and pre or post-backup hooks for custom actions. Backup your Kubernetes resources and volumes for an entire cluster, or part of a cluster by using namespaces or label selectors. Set schedules to automatically kickoff backups at recurring intervals. Configure pre and post-backup hooks to perform custom operations before and after Velero backups.

zrepl is a replication tool for ZFS, providing powerful features for managing backups and synchronizations. It is tailored to handle ZFS snapshot management across multiple systems.

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.

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

phpMyBackupPro is a web-based MySQL backup application in PHP. You can schedule backups, download, email or upload them with FTP and backup whole file directories. Zip and gzip compression, easy interface and installation. Many languages and online help!

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.

A tool written in Java that help you to extract your songs and videos from your iPod to your PC.

The sbackup suite is a simple backup solution for Gnome desktop. All configuration is accessable via Gnome interface. File and paths can be included and excluded directly or by regex, local and remote backups supported.

thoggen is a DVD backup program based on GStreamer/Gtk+. It encodes into ogg/theora video files, but additional formats (avi, matroska + mpeg4/xvid/mp2/mp3) are planned for the future. thoggen aims to provide a clean and easy to use interface.

Capivara is a graphical file transfer and file synchronization application. It supports network protocols such as SFTP and FTP.

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

Linux-based Network Bootmanager A graphical bootmanager providing OS deployment and repair for Linux, Windows, possibly other operating systems, via PXE and local cache.

SyncManager is a custom-made lightweight synchronization manager that helps you synchronize files and folders across different locations. SyncManager lets you synchronize your data in two ways: manually or automatically. Manual syncing mode lets you decide what and when to synchronize data, while automatic syncing mode synchronizes data based on its average synchronization time. It also offers three distinct synchronization types: two-way, one-way, and one-way update, allowing you to synchronize data between folders in different ways. Plus, it has filtering and customizable versioning settings that help you to set synchronization more precisely. You can also decide how to handle old versions of files and folders: move them to the trash, delete them permanently, or version them in a special folder. The utility is operating as a fully automated solution that seamlessly launches at system startup.
