Injector Linux is a single-floppy Linux system, which
supports many filesystems -- currently
approximately 25. Because of its wide range of
supported filesystems, it is very useful for disk
rescue operations.

Vbackup is a modular backup utility that can be used to perform full or incremental system backups. It consists of a set of scripts that can be used to create backups using tar and xfsdump. It can also make backups of PostgreSQL, MySQL, and LDAP databases, keep a copy of the boot record, the partition table, or the LVM configuration, encrypt archives using x509 certificates, and back up the Debian package list and the RPM database. It can store the backups in a local or remote directory using either NFS or SCP. It is modular, and can be extended to perform other functions as well.

Rsyncrypto allows you to encrypt a file or a
directory structure such that they can later be
synchronized to another machine using rsync. This
means that local changes to the plain text file
result in local changes to the cipher text file.
rsyncrypto compresses the plain text file prior to
encrypting it with gzip using the "rsyncable"
patch, which is available from the rsync sources.

BackupPCd is a client for BackupPC. It's written in
C and portable to most operating systems (Linux,
Windows, Mac OS X, and QNX). It is fast and
flexible, providing client and server side
configurable options.

FSVS is the abbreviation for "Fast System
VerSioning", and is pronounced [fisvis]. It
is used for backing up, restoring, versioning, and
system configuration management, using a
Subversion repository as the backend.

KDE Disk archiver is a disk-based archiving and
backup utility. It can perform differential
backups, which means that it can quickly store the
differences between a recent full backup and the
current state of your data. An archive browser
easily allows you to view the "table of contents"
of your archive. A sophisticated file filtering
mechanism allows you to select which files and
directories to backup or restore, and which files
to compress. The table of contents can be
extracted from the archive and used as a reference
when making differential backups, which means you
don't need your archive CDs handy to do a
differential backup of the entire filesystem.

Confstore is a configuration backup utility. It scans a system for all recognised configuration files and then stores them in a simple archive. It knows what to scan for by reading a definitions file. Confstore can also restore configuration from backup archives it has previously created.

TCDR is a dialog-based console frontend for mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, mkzftree, cdparanoia, cdda2wav, bladeenc, lame, oggenc, ogg123, mpg123, and sox written in bash.

REOBack Backup Solution (pronounced "Ray-o-back") is a simple backup solution designed for Linux users and system administrators. It is designed to be simple to set up, and easy to use. It is great as a quick solution for those who procrastinate about backups. It supports automatic full/incremental backups of files you define, remote backups via SCP, SMB, NFS, or FTP, as well as auto deletion of old backups.

csync is a bidirectional file synchronizer for
Linux. It allows the user to keep two copies of
files and directories in sync. It uses uses widely
adopted protocols like SMB or SFTP so that there
is no need for a server component of csync. It is
a user-level program which means there is no need
to be a superuser. With pam_csync, it is possible
to create roaming home directories.

Dconf is a tool to collect a system's hardware and
software configuration. It allows you to take your
system configuration with you and compare systems
(like nodes in a cluster) to troubleshoot hardware
or software problems. It can also be configured to
send out configuration changes at given intervals
to a group of people, or store a new snapshot when
system changes happen.

CD Bake Oven is a user-friendly, full-featured
CDR(W) burning facility with an intuitive and good
looking UI. It is built on top of the well known
'cdrecord', 'mkisofs', 'cdda2wav' and 'cdparanoia'.

zfec is a fast, portable, and programmable
implementation of erasure coding. It includes a C
library, a Python library, and a command-line
tool. Erasure coding is also known as "forward
error correction", which is the generation of
redundant blocks of information such that if some
blocks are lost then the original data can be
recovered from the remaining blocks. The RAID-5
algorithm is an erasure code, but while RAID-5 can
recover from the loss of any one element, zfec can
be parameterized to choose in advance the number
of elements whose loss it can tolerate.

KreateCD is a graphical user interface for the K Desktop Environment to copy and master own audio CDs (CDDA) or data CDs (CD-ROM).

RVM is an archive manager that uses rsync to
manage backups of multiple clients across multiple
logical partitions (vaults). It has some features
that some other rsync-based backup schemes lack,
such as being written in C++, needing no scripts
or other programs than rsync and any binaries on
which rsync depends (such as SSH), the ability to
manage multiple instances of rsync connections to
separate clients in parallel, the ability to use
multiple logical partitions (vaults) in a
configurable fashion for purporses of redundancy
and added reliability, and the use of hard links
for files that have not changed from one archive
to the next.
