rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possible over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of ... [More] that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership (if it is running as root), modification times, acls, eas, resource forks, etc. Finally, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be transmitted. [Less]

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]

DescriptionBased on and inspired by Apple's Time Machine backup system. Mime is a backup program written in Python that will perform an initial full system backup to any mounted drive that is ... [More] formatted to a standard Linux/Unix file system that supports hard links. All successive backups will create full incremental system images, thus allowing multiple versions of files to exist on the backup media. The package also includes a powerful command line utility called lsmime for listing, restoring and deleting files from your backups. If you have more than one system in your home or office, each system can use the same backup media to backup their data without interrupting data backed up from the other systems. [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]

Appengine utils from Lovely Systems

Photo downloader (importer) from cameras, memory cards and portable storage devices. Rapid Photo Downloader is written by a photographer for professional and amateur photographers. Released under ... [More] the GNU GPL license, it is designed for use on the Linux Desktop. It can download photos from multiple cameras, memory cards and Portable Storage Devices simultaneously. It provides many options for subfolder creation, image renaming and backup. [Less]

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]

sync-inc synchronises two file systems and generates a backup of the old system. The number of these incremental backups can be configured. sync-inc can either work on a single machine, or ... [More] between two machines connected via an ssh link. sync-inc can also be used to dump and import databases. sync-inc is written in Python and wraps the commands rsync, mv, cp, ssh, and rm -rf.

Becapy is a simple tool written in Python 2.6, designed to build a backup system for a small set of servers. Becapy enables you to manage the backup of all your servers/workstations and centralize ... [More] them in a main server. The program lets you keep a local backup of your data for the amount of time you judge it's necessary, and once a week it can upload data to the main server. Featuresa simple and readable xml file for backup specifications. uploads the backup over network using SSH2 protocol. compresses the backup uzing gzip format. email reporting To domulti-user platform(for now just root can run Becapy). prevent unwanted filetype(s) and/or folder(s) from being backuped. build a shell interface to manage backups. create a server version for Becapy, instead of using SSH Daemon. This is a full functional first release of becapy, the next one will be build on Python 2.6. How look a becapy.xml specification file? How to install?Download a tarball file and decompress ex. $ tar -zxvf becapy-0.1.tar.gz Them run a shell script named install.sh ex. $ ./install.sh How to use?Edit "/etc/becapy/becapy.xml" so it will look like the one in the picture above. Edit "/etc/becapy/becapy.conf" following the instructions on the own file. You might edit "/etc/crontab" aswell, in order to run becapy every day. FOR GOD'S SAKE, have the decency to change the parameters. [Less]
