CLUSTER BACKUP-CLIENT-NETWORK · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2008-01-25

Network backup systems

This cluster comprises client-server backup and restore tools that send data from multiple machines to a central server, often supporting encryption, snapshots, scheduling, and cross-platform or headless operation. Entry dates run from January 2008 through June 2024, showing a sparse early presence, a concentration of three entries in mid-2016, and then sporadic additions through the early 2020s. Traction leaders by activity signal are proxmox-backup-client-bin, urbackup2-server, and proxmox-backup-client, each with zero stars.

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