CLUSTER BACKUP-AUTOMATED-BACKUPS · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-12-21

Scheduled backup automation tools

This cluster comprises tools that automate recurring backups for databases, virtual machines, containers, and local systems, often with profile-based scheduling and remote offloading. Dated entries are sparse and irregular from 2009 to 2026, with a slight concentration in the 2020s. Traction leaders among the 13 members are backup-warden, rusticprofile, and resticprofile, though all show zero stars as an activity signal.

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 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
