Rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the plan9 way of doing backups. Rdup itself does not backup anything, it only print a list of absolute file names to standard output. Auxiliary scripts are needed that act on this list and implement the backup strategy.

wimlib is a C library and set of command-line utilities for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting archives in the Windows Imaging Format (WIM files). It can capture and apply WIMs directly from and to NTFS volumes using ntfs-3g, preserving NTFS-specific attributes.

Btrbk is a backup tool for Btrfs subvolumes, taking advantage of Btrfs specific capabilities to create atomic snapshots and transfer them incrementally to your backup locations. The source and target locations are specified in a config file, which allows easily configuring simple scenarios like e.g. a laptop with locally attached backup disks, as well as more complex ones, e.g. a server receiving backups from several hosts via SSH, with different retention policy. It has features such as:

• atomic snapshots

• incremental backups

• flexible retention policy

• backups to multiple destinations

• transfer via SSH

• resume backups (for removable and mobile devices)

• archive to offline storage

• encrypted backups to non-btrfs storage

• wildcard subvolumes (useful for Docker and LXC containers)

• transaction log

• comprehensive list and statistics output

• resolve and trace Btrfs parent-child and received-from relationships

• list file changes between backups

• calculate accurate disk space usage based on block regions.

Btrbk is designed to run as a cron job for triggering periodic snapshots and backups, as well as from the command line (e.g. for instantly creating additional snapshots).

This package provides a small sample of UTF-8 locales mostly useful in test environments.

This package provides all the locales supported by the GNU C Library, more than 400 in total. To use them set the LOCPATH environment variable to the share/locale sub-directory of this package.

Any Unix-like operating system needs a C library: the library which defines the "system calls" and other basic facilities such as open, malloc, printf, exit...

The GNU C library is used as the C library in the GNU system and most systems with the Linux kernel.

GNU Binutils is a collection of tools for working with binary files. Perhaps the most notable are "ld", a linker, and "as", an assembler. Other tools include programs to display binary profiling information, list the strings in a binary file, and utilities for working with archives. The "bfd" library for working with executable and object formats is also included.

Sed is a non-interactive, text stream editor. It receives a text input from a file or from standard input and it then applies a series of text editing commands to the stream and prints its output to standard output. It is often used for substituting text patterns in a stream. The GNU implementation offers several extensions over the standard utility.

This package provides a standalone shared library version of BFD, which is otherwise distributed and installed as part of the Binutils package release.

Make is a program that is used to control the production of executables or other files from their source files. The process is controlled from a Makefile, in which the developer specifies how each file is generated from its source. It has powerful dependency resolution and the ability to determine when files have to be regenerated after their sources change. GNU make offers many powerful extensions over the standard utility.

The Time Zone Database (often called tz or zoneinfo) contains code and data that represent the history of local time for many representative locations around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and daylight-saving rules.

The which program finds the location of executables in PATH, with a variety of options. It is an alternative to the shell "type" built-in command.

Patch is a program that applies changes to files based on differences laid out as by the program "diff". The changes may be applied to one or more files depending on the contents of the diff file. It accepts several different diff formats. It may also be used to revert previously applied differences.

Findutils supplies the basic file directory searching utilities of the GNU system. It consists of two primary searching utilities: "find" recursively searches for files in a directory according to given criteria and "locate" lists files in a database that match a query. Two auxiliary tools are included: "updatedb" updates the file name database and "xargs" may be used to apply commands with arbitrarily long arguments.

Tar provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as the ability to extract, update or list files in an existing archive. It is useful for combining many files into one larger file, while maintaining directory structure and file information such as permissions and creation/modification dates. GNU tar offers many extensions over the standard utility.

grep is a tool for finding text inside files. Text is found by matching a pattern provided by the user in one or many files. The pattern may be provided as a basic or extended regular expression, or as fixed strings. By default, the matching text is simply printed to the screen, however the output can be greatly customized to include, for example, line numbers. GNU grep offers many extensions over the standard utility, including, for example, recursive directory searching.

GNU Coreutils package includes all of the basic command-line tools that are expected in a POSIX system, excluding shell. This package is the union of the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. Most of these tools offer extended functionality beyond that which is outlined in the POSIX standard.
