Debian documentation

Backup tools and suites

  • Duplicity, remote automatic encrypted incremental backups

  • mondo, a good general purpose backup and recovery tool (in DebianTesting and DebianSid). It has the capability of backing up your entire Debian system on the medium of your choice. When it comes time to restore your system, it's as simple as booting from a CD or a floppy and it automatically restores your entire system. To make sure that your backup job worked properly, the bootable floppy or CD has the option of comparing the backup information and what is currently on your system.

  • backupninja - lightweight, extensible meta-backup system

  • backup-manager - command-line backup tool for GNU Linux

  • BackupPC backuppc - backup daemon with a web interface. Uses SSH to remotely back up computers over the network. Can use smb, rsync and Tar. Does full and incremental backups.

  • Tar - using the tape archiver

  • Unison - A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows

  • rsync - Fast remote file copy program (like rcp)

  • amanda-server - Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)

  • bacula-server - Network backup, recovery and verification - server meta-package

  • rdiff-backup - Rdiff-backup

  • rsnapshot - Local and remote filesystem snapshot utility

  • fsarchiver - Save the contents of a file system to a compressed archive file (It's still under heavy development so it should not be used for critical data.)

Tape Backup

Enterprise Tape backup can be performed with Debian Linux and packages like Amanda or Bacula or similar. The Linux tape system can be configured using the program stinit from the package mt-st . Stinit reads the configuration file /etc/stinit.def. The tape is then normally addressed as /dev/st0 for the 1st device and /dev/st1 for the second device and so on. The tape can also be addressed in a non rewinding mode normally by addressing the device as /dev/nst0 , /dev/nst1 etc.
