CLUSTER BACKUP-DESKTOP-FILES · 41 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-01-12
Desktop backup utilities
This cluster comprises 29 desktop backup and restore utilities covering folders, USB drives, presentation files, system images, and niche platforms (e.g., Notion, Docker, reMarkable). Dated entries appear sporadically from 2009-01, with most activity between 2023 and 2026-07, though the count per month never exceeds two. Traction leaders by activity are mountgate (1 star), followed by reManager and UsbDocumentBackup (0 stars each), indicating no member has gained meaningful adoption.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.
