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]

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up Linux, WinXX and MacOSX PCs and laptops to a server's disk. Features bleeding-edge technologies like deduplication.

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]

PowerFolder is a software to automatically synchronize, share and backup files online or in LAN. PowerFolder is dual licensed: PowerFolder Basic (GPL) is free available on its sourgeforge.net ... [More] page. PowerFolder Pro (commercial) adds major security features and is available at the download page as 30 days trial. It uses peer-to-peer technology to discover people you exchange files with. [Less]

Eloy is a comand line backup system. You simply define the directories to backup and Eloy does partial backups of all changes. You can easily list all changes and restore older versions of files and directories.

An open source, completely automatic on-line backup system for UNIX and Windows.

mylvmbackup is a Perl script for quickly creating backups of MySQL server's data files. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a read lock on all tables and flushes all server caches to disk, makes ... [More] an LVM snapshot of the volume containing the MySQL data directory, and unlocks the tables again. The snapshot process takes only a small amount of time. When it is done, the server can continue normal operations, while the actual file backup proceeds. [Less]

Backup P2P is an open source peer-to-peer backup system doing automated and secured backups inside your own trusted community (Jabber, XMPP). Each user shares some available space on his disk with ... [More] his contacts, to be able in return to remotely backup some of his own data. Advantages: * Backups can be scheduled in any time range that suits you. * Backup P2P uses the Jabber IM community, which counts over 200 million users. * Data is encrypted using the well-proven standard AES 128, but soon-coming version will allow to use different cryptographic providers and custom key length. * We use a rsync-like algorithm/protocol to perform incremental backups and thus limit the bandwidth require [Less]

nbbackup is a very simple backup script for Linux, which mounts a connected backup drive (identified from a list of valid backup drives) and performs a backup using either rsync or partimage.
