Free axigen backup software for linux

Simple Backup is a shell script to create basic backups using tar, grep, sed, and bash.

Simple Backup works by using a file that contains the folders to be backed up and a file that contains expressions to exclude certain folders/files.

Usage: backup.sh < backuplist > < excludelist >

Box Backup is an FREE, completely automatic on-line backup system for UNIX.
Main features:
- All backed up data is stored on the server in files on a filesystem; no tape or archive devices are used
- The server is trusted only to make files available when they are required; all data is encrypted
- A backup daemon runs on systems to be backed up, and copies encrypted data to the server when it notices changes
- Only changes within files are sent to the server, just like rsync
- Old versions of files on the server are stored as changes from the current version
- Behaves like tape -- old versions and deleted files are available
- Choice of backup behaviour, optimised for document or server backup
- Designed to be easy and cheap to run a server. Portable implementation, and RAID implemented in userland for reliability without complex server setup or expensive hardware. (optional)
Enhancements:
- The diffing algorithm was highly optimised for speed.
- Bugs were fixed. Solaris support was added.
- Portability improvements were made, including a new autoconf based build.
- Xattrs are supported on Linux and Darwin, which backs up resource forks under Mac OS X.
- Experimental features include keep-alive on long diffing operations, saving state for non-server use, a native Win32 port, and support for MinGW and MSVC under Win32.

FileBackup is an easy-to-use backup and restore utility with GUI. It supports patch backups, soft and hard links, has an ability to backup to a standard ZIP archive, on a removable disk, FTP server or Tape unit. You can easily teach the program how to do the hard work, then you make your backups in a few steps.
Main features:
- Easy-to-use Interface - Easy-to-use GUI interface helps you start backup and restore within seconds!
- Huge storage options - Ability to backup on any kind of removable disks or to any standard FTP server gives you whole freedom where backup your data. Get all benefits of backup: compression, encryption, span disks, partial restores and others... Support of rsh is planned.
- Incremental backup archive - Smart incremental and patch backups minimize backup time by backing up only changes which were made with your files.
- Command line mode - You can start FileBackup from command line and use it in your shell scripts.
- Encryption - You can use any encryption program you want.
- Email reporting - Detailed log of backup process can be send via email to any address.
- External commands - Customize your backups by using any number of external commands before and after backup.
- Partial and full restores - When your previously good file has been corrupted or lost, the last thing you want to do is spend hours finding and restoring your system. Software has been designed to get you running fast, with minimum effort and minimum cost.

Hosting Backup provides a set of scripts for backing up your hosted Web sites.
Hosting Backup is a set if PHP command line scripts that provides an easy way to backup hosted Web sites to your local computer. It works with sites hosted on Linux servers with MySQL databases using FTP.
HostingBackup uses lftp (http://lftp.yar.ru/) to download all the files from your remote server.
HostingBackup uses rc4 encryption, so you do not need to have PHP compiled with mcrypt.
HostingBackup is tested on Linux local computer with PHP 4.3.x and lftp 3.0.x.
The remote component will manage some operations like optimization and dump of MySQL databases.
The local component will manage the execution of backups and other utilities like the generation of crypted passwords and the automatic installation of the remote component.
To allow an easy way to backup all hosted MySQL databases we store the main password for the account directly on the remote server, crypted with rc4.
When we call the dump script we pass the decrypt key.
To catch the login data an hacker should read the crypted password written on the server and intercept the key on the net.
Enhancements:
- Add: "--comments=false" to mysqldump
- Add: "set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" to mysqldump
- Add: "--add-drop-table" to mysqldump

File::Backup is a Perl module for easy file backup & rotation automation.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Backup;

backup( from => "/source/path", to => "/destination/path" );
backup( from => "/kansas/*", to => "/oz" );

purge_backups(
to => "/destination/path",
compress => 0,
keep => 5,
timeformat => "YYYYMMDD_hhmmss",
);

This legacy module implements archival and compression (A.K.A "backup") and file rotation and is an implementation of tar and gzip calls.

DYS Backup is just a small script to backup your system.
You can ajust it to your needs as you like. It is made for me, but you are free to use it in the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Enhancements:
- Backups can be rotated and timestamped.
- Self encryption with GPG can be done.
- Pre and post script functions can be used.
- Package data was added for Red Hat/Fedora.
- Conditional compression of encryption is used.
- The user may choose between bzip2 and gzip.

Simplebackup is a cross-platform backup program. Simplebackup project reads a configuration file, then it builds a compressed file for each of your backup directories or files on your backup list, and places the compressed files into another location.
For example, this location can be a network mapped drive in Windows, an NFS mounted drive in Unix, another hard disk, an FTP server, or a tape device (Unix only). This will duplicate your information, doing the so called "backup".
Main features:
- Support for several compressed formats (rar, zip, tar, tar.Z, tar.gz, tar.bz2).
- Support for three backup modes: Full ; Incremental and Differential.
- Creates separate backup file for each backup directory or file on the backup list.
- Can read the backup list from a separated text file.
- Support for lists of files to ignore, this will allow ignoring files of any type desired. For example backup all except mp3 and ogg files.
- Support for lists of files to ignore, this will allow ignoring files of any name desired. For example backup all except the files with the name my_boss.png, secret document.doc.
- Support for size limitation on the files to backup, example only backup files up to 1 Megabyte.
- Support for single directory orders by using a special file named [ simplebackup_rejection.txt ] that is placed inside any directory of the backup.
- Allows for the selection of the compression ratio, example, you can use this feature to disable the compression during the backup of a directory that contains mp3 files, since this barely compress at all.
- Can also backup into ftp servers, and is able to use a ftp proxy server (must be in open mode). This gives you the possibility to do backups into any point on the planet across the internet, all that is required is for the remote system to have a standard ftp server.
- Under unix operating systems it can backup into tape devices.
- Also related to tape devices, it can execute any command desired before and after writing to tape, example mt -t /dev/tape0 rewind.
- Works fully unattended, so you can easily program a at/cron job (unix) or task scheduler (windows).
- Automatic backup session management.
- Can manage backup sessions using a local database file.
- Can run a script/batch file/command before the backup, example, you can use this feature to shut-down the database and free the data files for backup.
- Can run a script/batch file/command after the backup, again a example, you can use this feature to bring the database back on-line.
- Can send backup reports by e-mail (using smtp mail servers only).
- Can export the backup reports into any external program(s) or command(s).
- Logs all operations into a file that can be consulted latter.

Cedar Backup is a Python package that supports backups of files on local and remote hosts to CD-R or CD-RW media over a secure network connection. Cedar Backup project also includes extensions that understand how to back up MySQL databases and Subversion repositories, and it can be easily extended to support other data sources, as well.
The package is focused around weekly backups to a single disc, with the expectation that the disc will be changed or overwritten at the beginning of each week. If your hardware is new enough, Cedar Backup can write multisession discs, allowing you to add to a disc in a daily fashion. Directories are backed up using tar and may be compressed using gzip or bzip2.
There are many different backup software implementations out there in the free-and open-source world. Cedar Backup aims to fill a niche: it aims to be a good fit for people who need to back up a limited amount of important data to CD-R or CD-RW on a regular basis.
Cedar Backup isnt for you if you want to back up your MP3 collection every night, or if you want to back up a few hundred machines. However, if you administer a small set machines and you want to run daily incremental backups for things like system configuration, current email, small web sites, or a CVS repository, then Cedar Backup is probably worth your time.
Cedar Backup has been developed on a Debian GNU/Linux system and is currently supported only on Debian and other Linux systems. However, since it is written in portable Python, it should in theory run without too many problems on other UNIX-like systems which have a working version of the cdrecord and mkisofs utilities.
Enhancements:
- Invalid regular expressions in the configuration are now handled better.
- Other minor documentation cleanups were done.
