    Multi-volume backup for large filesystems

  • A quick googling found this: https://github.com/zeycus/fsbackup

  • Amanda

    Amanda Network Backup

  • A customer I used to work with used http://www.amanda.org/ and used folders instead of tapes. I would think you could do the same on a system and automount disks. It was a PITA, but worked.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Script to make incremental backups onto multiple, smaller drives from one larger source

  • I had a problem similar to this and ended up writing my own python script to solve it since I also couldn't find anything that did what I wanted (incremental backups from one large drive onto multiple small ones, one backup disk connected at a time). Maybe it can be of some help to you too: https://github.com/Jeroen-45/cartridge-backup
