CD Bake Oven is a user-friendly, full-featured
CDR(W) burning facility with an intuitive and good
looking UI. It is built on top of the well known
'cdrecord', 'mkisofs', 'cdda2wav' and 'cdparanoia'.

CDRX is a menu-based Perl script designed to help you use your CDRW
with mkisofs and cdrecord to handle ISO creation, CDROM/CDRW device
scans and setup, CDRW blanking, and CDRW burns. It is designed to
supplant the need for an X-based CD burning utility, to provide
features not found in other Unix CD burning programs, and to be easy
for beginners to use.

The gzip Recovery Toolkit attempts to automate the recovery of data from corrupted gzip files (including tarballs) through a program called gzrecover. This package is still very experimental at this point.

mbackup is a framework for building backup applications.

REOBack Backup Solution (pronounced "Ray-o-back") is a simple backup solution designed for Linux users and system administrators. It is designed to be simple to set up, and easy to use. It is great as a quick solution for those who procrastinate about backups. It supports automatic full/incremental backups of files you define, remote backups via SCP, SMB, NFS, or FTP, as well as auto deletion of old backups.

Archive is a fully drag-and-drop multi-format archiver. Drag a directory onto it to create an archive. Drag an archive onto it to extract to a directory. It can also compress and decompress streams (for example, you could drag a .gz file onto Archive and from Archive into your text editor).

Rsyncrypto allows you to encrypt a file or a
directory structure such that they can later be
synchronized to another machine using rsync. This
means that local changes to the plain text file
result in local changes to the cipher text file.
rsyncrypto compresses the plain text file prior to
encrypting it with gzip using the "rsyncable"
patch, which is available from the rsync sources.

PostScript::CDCover generates a Postscript program that prints a CD cover and backlabel, with contents displayed as a tree of directories and files. The module ships with a stand-alone, ready-to-use script, pscdcover, that takes the directory tree of a CD-ROM as input and generates a cover from it.
The output can be directly fed to a PostScript
printer, but it is designed to be easily editable
(should one wish to remove unwanted directory
entries, for example).

Confstore is a configuration backup utility. It scans a system for all recognised configuration files and then stores them in a simple archive. It knows what to scan for by reading a definitions file. Confstore can also restore configuration from backup archives it has previously created.

File-Dir-Dumper is a CPAN module that serializes
the metadata (file names, file sizes, permissions,
mtimes, etc.) from a directory structure to a
stream of JSON data structures. The output format
aims to be machine-readable, and mostly
human-readable.

KreateCD is a graphical user interface for the K Desktop Environment to copy and master own audio CDs (CDDA) or data CDs (CD-ROM).

zfec is a fast, portable, and programmable
implementation of erasure coding. It includes a C
library, a Python library, and a command-line
tool. Erasure coding is also known as "forward
error correction", which is the generation of
redundant blocks of information such that if some
blocks are lost then the original data can be
recovered from the remaining blocks. The RAID-5
algorithm is an erasure code, but while RAID-5 can
recover from the loss of any one element, zfec can
be parameterized to choose in advance the number
of elements whose loss it can tolerate.

GAdmin-Rsync is an easy to use GTK+ frontend for the rsync
backup client and server.

TCDR is a dialog-based console frontend for mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, mkzftree, cdparanoia, cdda2wav, bladeenc, lame, oggenc, ogg123, mpg123, and sox written in bash.

KDE Disk archiver is a disk-based archiving and
backup utility. It can perform differential
backups, which means that it can quickly store the
differences between a recent full backup and the
current state of your data. An archive browser
easily allows you to view the "table of contents"
of your archive. A sophisticated file filtering
mechanism allows you to select which files and
directories to backup or restore, and which files
to compress. The table of contents can be
extracted from the archive and used as a reference
when making differential backups, which means you
don't need your archive CDs handy to do a
differential backup of the entire filesystem.
