CLUSTER BACKUP-INCREMENTAL-DATA · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-10-23

Incremental backup utilities

This cluster consists of incremental backup tools that copy only changed data to save space, with some featuring encryption, compression, or journaling, and one targeting block devices or IBM TSM integration. The dated history shows sporadic releases roughly every one to three years from 2012 to 2026, with no discernible trend. Traction is minimal; the most active members (deltacp, rbackup, tsmclient-dkms) each show 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.

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.
