StoreBackup

StoreBackup is a free and open-source software that helps you back up your system. It's designed to keep your files safe by storing them on different disk drives, like external hard drives. This means if something happens to your main drive, your files are still secure!

Key Features of StoreBackup

This software has some pretty cool features that make it stand out. First off, it's optimized to improve performance and save disk space when making backups. Plus, it combines the benefits of standard backups, incremental backups, and full backups all in one tool.

Backup Integrity Checks

StoreBackup also checks the integrity of your backups. It uses md5 sums from the source files to ensure everything is working properly. You can even do isolated incremental backups without directly going into the repositories! And let's not forget about time-shifted replication—think of it as a "backup of backups." Pretty neat, right?

User-Friendly Command-Line Options

This tool runs in the command line, but don't worry; it's user-friendly once you get the hang of it! You can see all the powerful options available by typing perl storeBackup.pl --help in any terminal emulator. There are tons of options listed, which helps you understand how to use this handy software.

Important Command-Line Options

Some key options include checking file compression for files larger than 1KB, using custom configuration files, removing lock files before deleting old backups, and continuing with the backup process even if some directories are missing. Plus, it can hardlink identical symlinks!

No Installation Required!

The best part? StoreBackup is written in Perl and doesn't need installation! Just download the latest version from Softpas, save it where you want (like your Home directory), unpack it, and you're good to go! All executables are in the 'bin' folder and will run with Perl.
