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]

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.

pu.sh is a simple POSIX shell script which deploys a nice versioned backup solution based on rsync's hardlinking capability, which creates many snapshots in local or remote hosts (with SSH) without data redundancy.

A useful collection of batch files and scripts for daily purposes (backup, security, system management, etc.) and development

A really, really simple backup scheme for vmware servers using rsync. Part of Telenor´s iLabs project. See the BackupScriptSpec page for details. This project has is running in our lab production environment now.

This project is a simple, but powerful script to perform backups on an external hard disk. It does exactly what is needed to automate all the steps to copy documents and pictures. Limitations of ... [More] graphical interfacesMany backup programs with graphical interface are available, but they result troublesome in selecting the directories to include or de-selecting the directories to exclude. Additionally, it is hard to maintain the list of directories to backup, when a directory is added or removed from the hard disk. Flexibility of text based configurationThe script allows to select the directories and files to backup in a text form, which makes the selection of directories much simpler to define and maintain in the long run. The backup is performed through a set of profiles. Each profile defines the part of the disk to backup (i.e. the top-level directory), the directories to exclude within that part and the files to exclude. ExampleFor example, to backup all the files of a user's profile without the music files into the Z: external hard-disk, the profile can be defined similarly to the following text line: ('Files of the windows profile','C:\Documents and Settings\User','Z:\WindowsProfile',"C:\Documents and Settings\Giorgio\My Documents\My Music") The exclusions of Thumbnails file and temporary files can be specified similarly to the following text line: excludeFiles="Thumbs.db ZbThumbnail.info" Tools usedThe script relies on the robocopy and the powershell utilities from Microsoft, which make the script easy to read, personalize and maintain. The script looks very simple, but it does exactly what it is needed to do to backup all the data into an external hard disk! [Less]

Jailbroken BackupWritten by Platima (platima noATspam gmail) Thanks to much nagging from my beautiful girlfriend about not being able to back up all her software, themes and settings before i once ... [More] again wiped her phone back to defaults. Also thanks to the guys at work for supporting me in putting this little script together. Much testing needed, specifically of the restoration features, and im yet to find where the springboard arrangement is kept, and a few other little features like that Distributed under GNU General Public License DescriptionBackup your jailbroken iPhones apps, themes and settings Only tested with iPhone OS 2.0.2 Jailbroken with WinPwn 2.5 Beta 1 & 2 News26-09-08: Ok i did my first backup and restore. Had to remove ALOT though from the backup. Also learned alot more about Cydia after talking to Saurik, and learned more about prefs. The only thing i couldnt restore was the SpringBoard layout, but that was because i accidentally deleted those prefs. I upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.1 too :) The fault i had was permissions on the Mail settings.... Dont know what it was, had to delete the folder. Seems that it would TRY to download the mail, but even when i set the folder/files +rw, couldnt write to it. Just deleted my mail account and it was fine. I think ill upload what i did soon. Also came across some great apps, guides and files. Google xsellize, pr0x and monkeysball! 20-09-08: Direction changed a bit. Im writing server software that runs on a linux machine using apache, that you create a backup account and it backups up over wifi automatically to the server when your in range. Doing this for my company because we have so many iphones here. Will also eventually prob make it for non-jailbroken phones too. Found a great library for working with the phone via usb, and a probject based on it. Look up iphonebrowser and manzana in google code. V impressive! 15-09-08: Minor site re-vamp (not that theres anything to revamp anyway). Also looking at a completely new approach to backing up after finding how bad iTunes backup of contacts, etc is. Also scrapping the wiki posts and just posting news here. 11-09-08: Testing out a diff backup method, have a look under the wiki. Email me with thoughts too 06-09-08: (2.0.2)0.119 Doesnt work! Upto 0.140 and its nearly stable, so uploaded. IdeasSince im redoing the whole thing from scratch, i figure might make a few major implementations and start doing this properly. Native GUI for configuring what to back up Automatic backup over wireless when near specified access point Backup music, cal, notes, alarms, photos, ringtones, contacts also (since itunes backup crashes 90% of the time, and the other 10% only restores 1 contact) Linux backup server for storage and restore of iPhone backups (maybe useful in an enterprise environment) Automatic program update on restore [Less]

rbxi is one of the family of smxi scripts. This one however runs on any unixlike system that supports bash, rsync, or rdiff-backup. You can check out the home page for more information, or download ... [More] the bz2 file directly. Check out smxi.org for more complete rbxi installation options. Most of the setup information is contained in the script readme file: rbxi/rbxi-data/rbxi-values and in the readme file: rbxi/rbxi-data/readme-rbxi.htm which is also available online at smxi.org And that's about all I'll post here, see also the script options, rbxi -h for option information, but make sure to read the setup information. This script does NOT work without manual user configuration of the rbxi-values file, which has a lot of comments explaining how to do it, along with the readme-rbxi.htm file. [Less]

supports basic backing up jobs: -sending over sftp to another computer -creating local backup archives for selected directories -syncing backup archive -revealing hidden files and folders (so they could also be backed up) -remove swap (.swp) files
