Open Source Linux Archiving Software

Openfiler is a browser-based network storage management utility. Linux-powered, Openfiler delivers file-based Network Attached Storage (NAS) and block-based SAN in a single framework. It supports CIFS, NFS, HTTP/DAV, FTP, and iSCSI.

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade backup system for backing up Linux, WinXX PCs, Macs and laptops to a server's disk. Features include clever pooling of identical files, no client-side software, and a powerful Apache/CGI user interface.

Partclone is a project like the well-known backup utility "Partition Image" a.k.a partimage. Partclone provide utilities to back up used blocks and design for higher compatibility of the file system using supported library like e2fslibs.

safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives, harddisk partitions, CDs, tape devices, ..., where other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors.

Partition Image is an utility to save partitions (ext2/3fs, reiserfs, fat16, fat32, hpfs, ntfs) into an image file. Only used blocks of the partition are saved, and the image can be compressed in gzip or bzip2 format. You can split the image into small f

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

This utility is used to manipulate Minix filesystem images in user-space. It can be used to extract files and generate full images for using in embedded system and/or Linux init ram disks.

PAUD is a disk image that contains system utilities, such as fdisk, mc (midnight commander), parted, ntfsresize, and more. PAUD is ideal for rescue/administration purposes and transferring files from one filesystem to another for windows users.

K Disk archiver (KDar) is a KDE GUI-based backup and archiving program. Use it to prepare your data for storage on CD-Rs, jazz drives, floppies, even DVDs. KDar uses the dar library by Denis Corbin. Features include compression and archive splitting.

The TclVfs project aims to provide an extension to the Tcl language which allows Virtual Filesystems to be built using Tcl scripts only. It is also a repository of such Tcl-implemented filesystems (metakit, zip, ftp, tar, http, webdav, namespace, url)

Atol is a classical dual panel file manager aiming to be portable to both Linux and Windows OS (using C++ and GTK+ toolkit)

A linux userspace shadow (file data is on disk) relational filesystem (aka "database filesystem") using fuse and postgresql to store metadata. Directories can be queries, and powerful features (e.g. bayesian classification) are added through plugins

RDIST - remote file distribution program. (BSD Licensed).

MediaSort is a tool to automatically rename your media files (pictures, mp3, ...) with their metadata attributes. You can sort your pictures by date, camera ... or other EXIF attributes. MP3s by author, album .. or other ID3 tags. Java GUI based on Ant.

The idea of this project is to create a PHP & MySQL powered system of centralising files between people, it will include profiles, administration, automatic sighnup, editing of files, folder systems and search engine.

APR based virtual file system library and modules for read/write access to gzip, bzip, tar, cpio, iso and zip archives.

AFRS utilizes the Linux inotify kernel tool to monitor your filesystem for file changes, records or displays those changes and if desired, replicates those changes in near real time to other systems running AFRS using rsync. AFRS can also be used as a li

PRATIMA, an Asynchronous Remote Volume Replicator for Linux: Pratima performs online, real-time, reliable and efficient block level data replication to a remote computer over a network in both synchronous and asynchronous modes for Linux.

BackupAFS is an application to backup OpenAFS cells to a remote backup server's disk. It supports compression, full and multi-level incremental dumps, exponential expiry, and configuration via a friendly web interface.

BackupPC4AFS is a version of BackupPC modified to backup OpenAFS volumes to a backup server's local disk or attached RAID. It supports full and multi-level incremental dumps, exponential expiry, and configuration via conf files or a web interface.

A dynamic package manager with a virtual file system interface. Keep track of files installed from a source tarball and easily remove those files. Simply copying files from /usr/src/{package name} will automaticly create a package.

Basic Backup is a simple customizable shell script providing system admins an easy way to get basic system files backed up. Use from the moment you startup a new system and archive daily changes through bbackup. Allows you to specify which directories o

Batavia is an extensible platfrom independent file manager written in Java. It is extensible via plugins and has virtual file system support.

BTS is a Build Template System designed for building packages for th common packing systems in use by current distributions based on a single XML package description. We are finally restarting development after a long break due to NeOS work.

CDrecorder is a gui for cdrecord and mkisofs built using gtk (primarily).
