dvdbackup you can do a 1:1 copy of a DVD-video.

Installation

Download dvdbackup version 0.1 - you will also need libdvdread version 0.9.3 or later.

Compile dvdbackup.c in the src dir like this gcc -o dvdbackup
-I/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/include -L/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/lib
-ldvdread dvdbackup.c

NOTE: The "" indicates that its one line - i.e. remove the "" from the command
line

Usage:

If your backup directory is /my/dvd/backup/dir/ specified with the "-o" flag. Then dvdbackup will create a DVD-Video structure under /my/dvd/backup/dir/TITLE_NAME/VIDEO_TS.

Since the title is "uniq" you can use the same dir for all your DVD backups. If it happens to have a generic title dvdbackup will exit with a return value of 2. And you will need to specify a title name with the -n switch.

dvdbackup will always mimic the original DVD-Video structure. Hence if you e.g. use the -M (mirror) you will get an exact duplicate of the original. This means that every file will be have the same size as the original one. Like wise goes also for the -F and the -T switch.

However the -t and (-t -s/-e) switch is a bit different the titles sectors will be written to the original file but not at the same offset as the original one since they may be gaps in the cell structure that we dont fill.

To backup the whole DVD

dvdbackup -M -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure that can be burned to a DVD-/+R(W) with help of mkisofs version 1.11a27 or later

To backup the main feature of the DVD

dvdbackup -F -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the feature title set
dvdbackup defaults to get the 16:9 version of the main feature if a 4:3 is also present on the DVD. To get the 4:3 version use -a 0.

dvdbackup makes it best to make a inteligent guess what is the main feature of the DVD - in case it fails please send a bug report.

To backup a title set

dvdbackup -T 2 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

where "-T 2" specifies that you want to backup title set 2 i.e. all VTS_02_X.XXX files.

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the specified title set

To backup a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action backups all cells that forms the specified title. Note that there can be sector gaps in between one cell and an other. dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title.

To backup a specific chapter or chapters from a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -s 20 -e 25 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action will backup chapter 20 to 25 in title 1, as with the backup of a title there can be sector gaps between one chapter (cell) and on other.dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title 1 chapter 20 to 25 but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title 1 chapter 20 to 25.

To backup a single chapter e.g. chapter 20 do -s 20 -e 20
To backup from chapter 20 to the end chapter use only -s 20
To backup to chapter 20 from the first chapter use only -e 20

You can skip the -t switch and let the program guess the title although its not recomened.

If you specify a chapter that his higher than the last chapter of the title dvdbackup will turncate to the highest chapter of the title.

Return values

0 on success
1 on usage error
2 on title name error
-1 on failur

Todo - i.e. whats on the agenda

Make the main feature guessing algoritm better. Not that it doesnt do its job, but its implementation its that great. I would also like to preserve more information about the main feature since that would let me preform better implementations in other functions that depends on the titles_info_t and title_set_info_t strcutures.
Make it possible to extract cells in a title not just chapters (very easy so it will definitly be in the next version).

Make a split mirror (-S) option that divides a DVD-9 to two valid DVD-5 video structures. This is not a trivial hack and its my main goal the next month or so. It involves writing ifoedit and vobedit libraries in order to be able to manipulate both the IFO structures and the VOB files. Out of this will most probably also come tscreate and vtscreate which will enable you to make a very simple DVD-Video from MPEG-1/2 source.

Hydra Backup System is a full backup system for UNIX-like systems.
Main features:
- Archives directories and stores archives on one or more FTP servers
- Includes a graphical client (built with the PyQT toolkit) and a command-line client for local or remote backup administration
- Control how often directories are backed up (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Exclude directories from backups (e.g. backup /etc/ without backing up /etc/apache)
- Uses Pyro for client-server communication

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.

NFS Backup System is a Perl script that backup system for NFS. The basic function nfsbu is an automated perl-script backup system between an NFS server and an NFS client.
Either by crontab or manual execution, directories listed in the configuration file can be backed up to a directory mounted on the NFS server. In turn, the NFS server uses the client-side script of nsbu (nfsbuc.pl) to move the data from the temporary NFS mount directory to their final places (also specified in the configuration file).
I created this script having been learning Perl for maybe 2 weeks and progressing not much further than page 12 of Programming Perl by Larry Wall and Randal L. Shwartz. Hence you may consider the code badly written, but a quote from the book Id like to include is "a Perl script is correct if its halfway readable and gets the job done before your boss fires you". So I take no blame for the code, Ive commented my code and it worked for me and I make no promises it will work for you.
With regards to licencing, I guess its not really worthy of the full 9 yards, but lets have the happy code hacker ethic of open source development. I.e. something of somewhat basic GPL licence terms and conditions. You may feel inclined to modify the code, in such case if you do, please e-mail me the changes and include the modified code. If youd like to redistribute it with your modifications, please include my name and the original code.
Main features:
- multiple directory backup, with alternative destination directories
- directories are simply listed in a file with their respective destinations
- thorough error checking, if any errors occur e-mail will be sent to the administrator
- checks the status of the NFS server and mountd to prevent any hang-ups from a dead NFS server which is common

SILVERCODERS DVD Backup is an unix shell script providing functionality for backuping files and databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) on DVD discs.
The project supports multisession and incremental backups. Mail notification is also supported.
Usage:
dvd_backup.sh [--config < file_name >] --init|--add
--config < file_name > - use specified config file (default is ./dvd_backup.conf)
--init - initial backup (empty media)
--add - add next backup (media with backups)
Enhancements:
- Configuration for burning speed and temporary directory was implemented.
- Calculating checksums (SHA1 or MD5) was introduced.
- Warnings are printed if some files were changed while being archived.
- SMTP authentication can be disabled in this version.
- The path to the config file can be passed as an argument.
- A lot of bugs and compatibility fixes are included for several platforms.

c42 Backup Suite is a simple python program for maintaining a central backup in a small, but distributed environment with a central file share. Basically it is a wrapper around the tar backup facility.
Main features:
- Common, simple configuration of backup tasks.
- Use same configuration for full and incremental backups.
- Provide a network wide index of backups.
- Separates creating and compressing of backup files
- Automatically delete outdated backup files.
- The rules which defines if a backup file is outdated or not are specified in the configuration.
- Provide a configuration mechanism that is strong enough to write general backup configurations, which can be shared between different machines and users.
A task is defined backup template. At invocation of the task it is determined if a full or incremental backup should be done.
The separation of creating and compressing of backup files allow the use on a client machine with low CPU resources. For client machines with big CPU resources or a small network bandwidth the compression can be done also on the client side.
