afbackup

This is a client-server backup system offering several workstations a centralized backup to a special backup server. The backup on the clients can be started automatically using cron-jobs on the clients, but the more inteligent solution is to start it remotely from a central administrative host. To be independent of tricks like rsh, rcp and so on, that are in fact security holes, this remote start option is internally realized. This is done because normally the backup has to be run with root authorization, otherwise files that are read protected by users could not be saved. Any streaming device can be used for writing the data to it.

AMANDA

AMANDA (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions can also use Samba to back up Microsoft Windows 95/NT hosts.

Backup Copy

Backup Copy will allow you to keep a mirror of your data. Developed with a 2 dimensional link list recursive algorithm, Backup Copy will copy multiple files faster than standard cp. Its key features include copying 'new files only' and deleting files that no longer exist in the source when copying over a previous backup. When a file is overwritten or deleted due to a new backup, you have the option of trashing those files into a trash bin, providing you a backup of your backup.

KDat

KDat is a tar based tape archiver, that is designed to work with multiple archives on a single tape. KDat was inspired by two separate goals. The first, was to provide a nice, GUI front-end to tar that supported the fast selective extraction features of the dds2tar program. The second goal was to answer my wife's question, "How much longer is it going to be backing up?!?".

Taper

This is a tape backup and restore program that provides a friendly user interface to allow backing/restoring files to a tape drive. Alternatively, files can be backed up to hard disk files. Selecting files for backup and restore is very similar to the Mouseless Commander interface and allows easy traversal of directories. Recursively selected directories are supported. Incremental backup and automatic most recent restore are defaults settings. SCSI, ftape, zftape, and removable drives are supported (ide tape drives in ALPHA stage). Information about archives is stored on the hard disk allowing information about archives to be obtained without having to have the tape in the drive.
