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.

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).

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).

DiskSearch is a tool for searching for files on all your removable media disks, including CDs, ZIP disks, and backup tapes. It allows you to search for songs on your MP3 CDs or for a document on your backup DVDs. For advanced queries, a regular expression search mode is provided. Searches are based on a simple database file, which needs to be filled once by adding all your disks to it.

SBackup is a simple backup solution intended for
desktop use. It can back up any subset of files
and directories. Exclusions can be defined by
regular expressions. A maximum individual file
size limit can be defined. Backups may be saved to
any local and remote directories that are
supported by gnome-vfs.

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

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.

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

RVM is an archive manager that uses rsync to
manage backups of multiple clients across multiple
logical partitions (vaults). It has some features
that some other rsync-based backup schemes lack,
such as being written in C++, needing no scripts
or other programs than rsync and any binaries on
which rsync depends (such as SSH), the ability to
manage multiple instances of rsync connections to
separate clients in parallel, the ability to use
multiple logical partitions (vaults) in a
configurable fashion for purporses of redundancy
and added reliability, and the use of hard links
for files that have not changed from one archive
to the next.

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.

lzop is a file compressor similar to gzip. Its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed at the cost of some compression ratio. lzop uses the LZO library for compression services.

Rsync Incremental Backup Script (RIBS) is an
incremental backup system written using PHP,
rsync, ssh, and cp. It can backup local
machines and other networked devices, and is
designed to be highly configurable and
informative for system administrators. It
performs a large amount of error checking,
and includes logging and email capabilities.
