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 ... [More] efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity 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 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 ... [More] space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals. 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]

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the 'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend.

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 ... [More] sftp. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks and email (smtp + imap). Manent can work (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 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 ... [More] , on-demand backups as well as restores. fwbackups can backup to a local disk or alternatively to another host using SFTP. [Less]

sync2cd is an incremental archiving tool. It allows backing up complete filesystem hierarchies to multiple backup media (e.g. CD-R). Files are archived incrementally, i.e. only new or changed files ... [More] are stored during an archive operation. All entity types are supported: directories, files, symlinks, named pipes, sockets, block and character devices. [Less]

Backs up and archives stuff from one place to another. Simple really. Can run as a schedule. Has the option to do incremental versioned backups of files. I wrote this utility for my own use, so it's ... [More] rough around the edges and does exactly what it needs to - nothing more. It was never intended to be a public project as such, but I don't see the harm in dumping the source code up here in case someone else finds it useful. [Less]

S3IO - read and write to an S3 object as if it were a StringIO object. import pys3 io = pys3.S3IO(conn, 'my_bucket', 'my_object') io.read() io.write('abracadabra') io.close()S3Archive - manage ... [More] historical versions of an object, automatically handles retention. Inspired by CED's rkiv tools. import pys3 rkiv = pys3.S3Archive(conn, 'my_bucket', 'my_object') rkiv.set_retention(days=0, copies=4) for i in range(5): io = rkiv.new_io() io.write('abracadabra') rkiv.list() #shows 5 versions rkiv.scratch() rkiv.list() #shows 4 versions io = rkiv.existing_io() #returns most recent logical version io.read() Comes with a test suite.

Opensilo controls the writing and retrieval of data from tape and archival subsystems. It utilizes a relational database to store all the physical versus logical file mappings. Archive file pointers ... [More] are stored in the local file system just as any other file. When a request is made to retrieve those files, OpenSilo marks the file as available and transfers the data locally. The file pointer is then replaced with the actual data representation of that file. [Less]
