Free backing tracks software for linux

tcptrack provides a packet sniffer that displays TCP connections similarly to top.

tcptrack is a packet sniffer, which passively watches for connections on a specified network interface, tracks their states, and lists them in a manner similar to the Unix top command.

It displays source and destination addresses and ports, connection state, idle time, and bandwidth usage.

MegaTrack is an application that tracks Atlantic and eastern Pacific tropical storms. It uses the HSQLDB engine and is updated from the tropical storm data repository from the Unisys weather center.
Enhancements:

iBackup simplifies backing up the system configuration files (/etc) for UNIX systems (Solaris, *BSD, Linux).

You can run the program from any directory, it will by default save the (maybe compressed) tarball to /root. It is possible to encrypt the tarball, to upload the tarball to some other host and run this backup automated in a cronjob. You could also send the backup by mail, using nail.

IAMBACKUP provides a set of classes for backing up and restoring a MySQL database.

IAM backup is package made of two classes. One performs the backup of the selected MySQL database, and the second restores the database.

Both classes support gzip-compressed files for improved performance. When performing the backup, the user is prompted to download the backup file, straight from the browser.

Alternately, the backup can be stored on the local server at a predefined location. Restoring the database (or copying it to another server) is just as easy.

4BAK is a linux livecd for yours backups of disk drives, partitions & files.

4BAK (previously DDbackup) is a live CD Linux distribution based on SLAX. It contains AIR (Automated Image and Restore), Partimage, Xarchiver and others tools.

The goal is to include the set of useful tools for backing up disk drives, partitions and files. The default desktop is Fluxbox.

drsbackup is for backing up systems, disk to disk. drsbackup project is not aimed at your cron job that does periodic backups. Instead, it is intended as a one-shot backup facility, for use when you, say, need to upgrade a system, in which case doing a -a followed by a -a -i can be very effective.

It has three primary modes of operation:

1. Back up all filesystems on the system, as determined by a df-local script that lists all local filesystems. If your df-local script doesnt work, dont blame drsbackup .
2. Back up all filesystems specified with -f.
3. Back up all files that have changed since initial install (requires stamp/check-stamp/elim-dirs, and a stamp snapshot to have been done at install time).

Largely orthogonal to the above modes of operation, there are these additional, independent modes of operation:

1. Copy all files, but split out
2. Copy only files that have changed (presumes split out copies)
3. Copy all files, but to a series of tar archives

You can also specify whether transfers should be compressed or not (only on the client side, so far, which is usually what one wants, but not always).

Run it with an argument of -h for usage.

CDriveBack project is a backup system.
CDriveBacks design goal is to make a backup system so easy to use that the end users with no backup, eighty percent of XP Home users and thirty percent of home XP Professional users, take backups and can easily restore their system.
For example, backing up the C: drive to an area on the C: drive takes two steps:
- Boot the CDriveBack CD, when the first screen shows,
- Hit enter to backup the C: drive.
CDriveBack is:
- A Live CD, one that you can boot, requiring no installs, using,
- Linux 2.6.x, a recent version of the Linux operationg system, to run
- Dialog screens that manage backup files on your drives and
- Use DAR to backup the partition or drive to files, in turn using, when needed,
- Backing up older Windows drives as well as Linux formatted drives is built-in
- NTFS-3G, the NTFS Drive handling package. is used for NTFS drives.
Enhancements:
Bug fixes, all repaired:
- A full restore from a backup area with no differential backup files still asked for diff files with an akward message.
- Documentation dates and releases out of date.
- Startup session screen still referred to the release candidate.
Added:
- An optional "Force" setting for mounting NTFS disks from a Windows that is using chkdsk to always call the partition "dirty"
