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 ... [More] uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server. The duplicity package also includes the rdiffdir utility. Rdiffdir is an extension of librsync's rdiff to directories---it can be used to produce signatures and deltas of directories as well as regular files. These signatures and deltas are in GNU tar format. [Less]

rsnapshot

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems. Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals. ... [More] Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, you may never need to think about it again. rsnapshot is written entirely in Perl. It should work on any reasonably modern UNIX compatible OS, including: Debian, Redhat, Fedora, SuSE, Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and even IRIX. [Less]

peazip

PeaZip is an open source file and archive manager: cross platform, available as portable and installable software for 32 and 64 bit Windows (9x, 2k, XP, Vista, 7) and Linux x86 and x86-64 (PeaZip is a desktop neutral application). Create 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, ZIP ... [More] Extract 129 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF and many more... PeaZip allows to create, convert and extract multiple archives at once; create self-extracting archives; bookmark archives and folders; apply powerful multiple search filters to archive's content; scan and open with custom applications compressed and uncompressed files. Other features: strong encryption, split/join files, secure deletion, compare, checksum and hash files... [Less]

Ugarit

Ugarit is a backup/archival system based around content-addressible storage.

manent

Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It features: Efficient backup to anything that looks like a storage. Currently it supports plain filesystem ("directory"), ftp and sftp. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks and email (smtp + imap). Manent can work ... [More] (making progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. Manent can offer online access to the contents of the backup. Currentlly, local FTP serving is being worked on; in the future, FUSE support for Linux will be added. Backed up storage is completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of large files. Moved, renamed and duplicate files will not require additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup, automatically sharing data. Both very l [Less]

fwbackups

fwbackups is a feature-rich user backup program that allows you to backup your documents anytime, anywhere. fwbackups offers a simple but powerful interface and supports multiple scheduled backups, on-demand backups as well as restores. fwbackups can backup to a local disk or alternatively to another host using SFTP.

Backup and Restore Program

Burp is a network backup and restore program. It uses librsync in order to save network traffic and 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.

archive-sort

Archive sort is a script that sorts directories into manageable 4.4GB directories for the purpose of archiving onto DVDs. It is useful if you have several tens or hundreds of GBs of data to archive. It can also be configured to sort into 700MB directories for archiving onto CDs.

BackupNetClone

BackupNetClone is a set of shell scripts that use rsync to provide convenient snapshot backups with minimal disk usage. The concept is based on rsnapshot but does not require Perl. BackupNetClone was originally tailored to D-Link's DNS-323 NAS device.

ddback

Dan's rsync to Disk with incremental snapshots BACKup utility is a simple bash script driven by easy to edit and easier to understand config files. It's meant to be used with a laptop and an external USB harddrive as the backup media, though an NFS mounted volume could be used, too.
