openduckbill

Openduckbill is a simple command line backup tool for Linux, which is capable of monitoring the files/directories marked for backups for any changes and transferring these changes either to a local backup directory or a remote NFS exported partition or to a remote ssh server using the very common ... [More] , rsync command. As a backup tool, openduckbill can operate in any one of the modes mentioned below: Maintain an exact copy of the source at the backup destination Maintain current and previous version of the source at the backup destination Features Supports recursive and non-recursive backup of files/directories Does filesystem monitoring Openduckbill uses pyinotify for filesystem monitoring. Any directory marked for backup, will be monitored for changes, and the changes will be synced to the backup destination regularly. Three different modes of backup. Supports backup to Local directory NFS mount SSH server (using rsync over ssh) Include/exclude files/directories from backup Supports including/excluding files/directories from backup using pattern matches Supports maintaining current and previous versions of files at backup destination. In NFS backup mode, the NFS partition is auto mounted. Ability to remove files/directories which are not part of backup schedule from backup partition. (Currently this feature supported only in LOCAL and NFS backup modes.) Uses YAML based config file Easy to read and modify Uses GUI dialog box to display critical information Has built-in logging system Daemon mode and Non-daemon mode Extensive DEBUG info mode Fully client side application Minimal (or no) configuration required on server More details here [Less]

fakemirror

This script needs inotfy and pyinotify. It will mirror the content of a directory to other local or remote directories.

pylsyncd

This project has moved to http://iaslanidis.github.com/pylsyncd/ Pylsyncd is a python implementation similar to lsyncd that uses rsync to synchronize local directories with several remote machines running rsyncd. Pylsyncd monitors recursively a set of directories using pyinotify, a pure Python ... [More] module used for monitoring filesystems changes that relies on inotify. The main advantage of pylsyncd against lsyncd is that it uses message queues in order to synchronize in a parallel way several destination servers, saving up time when it is required to have more than one destination. It has been tested in heavy loaded environments. [Less]
