rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync. rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required. Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There are no tapes to change, so once it’s set up, your ba
FreeFileSync allows comparing and synchronizing local file folders. It's performant and without GUI complexity.

rsync is a replacement for rcp (and scp) that has many more features. It uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers. We strive to fulfill the goals below.

We take every reasonable precaution to avoid corrupting the user's files. Secure Against Attackers Again, protecting the user's data is paramount. Regardless of our other goa
Timeshift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. Timeshift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system. In RSYNC mode, snapshots are taken using rsync and hard-links. Common files are shared between snapshots which saves disk space. Each snapshot is a full system
Back In Time is a simple backup solution for Linux Desktops. It is based on rsync and uses hard-links to reduce space used for unchanged files. It comes with a Qt5 GUI which will run on both Gnome and KDE based Desktops. Back In Time is written in Python3 and is licensed under GPL2. Backups are stored in plain text. They can be browsed with a normal file-browser or in Terminal which makes it possible to restore files even without Back in Time. Files ownership, group and permissions are stored i
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for POSIX-compliant systems (e.g. *BSD, GNU/Linux, macOS) and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison has been in use for over 20 years and many people use it to synchronize data they care about. Features: Unison works across platforms, allowi

Snebu is a snapshot-style backup system that is fast, easy to set up, and flexible. Each backup is a snapshot of the system at that time, and can be individually labeled with a retention schedule (such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Backup sets can be individually expired, or expired based on age for that particular schedule name. The front end uses standard tools, such as `find` and `tar`, while the back end stores backed up file contents in standard lzop compressed files with the metadata
Kissback is a backup software that allows to backup large directories containing large files to sftp servers. Standard file attributes, users, groups, and times are backuped and restored.

A cross platform backup utility that reads an input file of what to include and then pack the files in a zip file and saves it to a specified location. Because of its dynamic way of handeling arguments you can run it from crontab, Windows scheduler, scripts or manually. You can also setup different jobs on the same machine, separating them with unique job names and locations.

Sauvegarde saves your data in a continuous way that is to say while being written to disk. It is intended for users that have many files to save and that do not want to miss any change on them. The whole backup is deduplicated so users using many similar systems or having copies of the same file in many systems will save space regarding traditional backup. A specific feature (caching in the client) yet to implement will allow one to backup systems that do not have permanent access to the network
Harvest is a compact, fast and portable software that can scan files and folders to recognise their typology. Scanning is based on file extensions and a simple fuzzy logic analysis of folder contents to recognise if they are related to video, audio or text materials. Harvest makes it easy to list folders by type or year, to move them or to categorize them for tagged filesystems. It can process approximately 1GB of stored files per second and is operated from the console terminal. Harvest is de
