CLUSTER ACCESS-BACKUPS-FILESYSTEM · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-08-08

FUSE backup mount tools

This cluster consists of FUSE-based utilities that mount backup archives or disk images as filesystems for direct access and recovery. The dated entries are sparse, occurring roughly every 1-3 years from 2015 to 2025, with no obvious trend. Traction leaders are python-imagebackup, rdiff-backup-fs, and open-fuse-iso-term, each with 0 stars, indicating minimal community traction.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
