Open Source C Backup Software for Desktop Operating Systems

Info-ZIP portable compression/archiver utilities (Zip, UnZip, WiZ, etc.)

uCON64 is a tool to backup all kinds of video games. It supports almost every available backup unit for cartridge-based consoles and performs many other tasks like ROM hacking.

Grsync is used to synchronize folders, files and make backups. It is a rsync GUI (Graphical User Interface).

X-CD-Roast is a flexible frontend for optical disc authoring. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", "readcd" and "mkisofs" into a nice GTK based graphical user interface.

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.

NDMJOB is a NDMP-compatible backup/restore package, reference implementation, and conformance test. NDMP is an open protocol for network based backup enabling multi-vendor backup solutions. Please see http://www.ndmp.org for more information.

Save/restore filesystem meta data to/from a SVN (Subversion) working copy. Currently supported attributes: mtime (Modification time), uid (User ID), gid (Group ID), protection bits. A hybrid between FSVS and a mtree based solution.

lzop is a file compressor similar to gzip. Its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed, at the cost of some compression ratio. lzop uses the LZO library for compression services.
