mod_qos is a quality of service module for the Apache Web Server. It implements control mechanisms that can provide different priority to different requests and controls server access based on available resources.

mod_qos may be used to determine which requests should be served and which shouldn't in order to avoid resource oversubscription. The module collects different attributes such as the request URL, HTTP request and response headers, the IP source address, the HTTP response code, history data (user session and on per source IP address basis), the number of concurrent requests to the server (total or requests having similar attributes), the number of concurrent TCP connections (total or from a single source IP), and so forth.

atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip, zip, etc).

The main command is probably 'aunpack' which extracts files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded "multiple files in archive root" problem by first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible.

aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake. Other commands provided are apack (for creating archives), als (for listing files in archives), and acat (for extracting files to stdout).

Deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange permissions. 33 archive file extensions are supported out of the box, and adding support for others requires very little work.

dtrx stands for "Do The Right Extraction." It's a tool for Unix-like systems
that takes all the hassle out of extracting archives.

dtrx is simple and powerful. Just use the same command for all your archive
files, and they'll never frustrate you again.

Features:
* Handles many archive types: You only need to remember one simple command to
extract tar, zip, cpio, deb, rpm, gem, 7z, cab, gz, bz2, and lzma files. If
they have any extra compression, like tar.bz2, dtrx will take care of that
for you, too.
* Keeps everything organized: dtrx will make sure that archives are extracted
into their own dedicated directories.
* Sane permissions: dtrx makes sure you can read and write all the files you
just extracted, while leaving the rest of the permissions intact.
* Recursive extraction: dtrx can find archives inside the archive and extract
those too.

The lzlib compression library provides in-memory LZMA compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the decompressed data.
The compressed data format used by the library is the lzip format.

Plzip is a parallel version of the lzip data compressor. The files
produced by plzip are fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip
is intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on
multiprocessor machines.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one
of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and
compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software
distribution and data archiving.

Bigsync is a tool to incrementally back up a big file to a slow destination
(think network media or a cheap NAS). The most common cases for bigsync are
disk images, virtual operating systems, or encrypted volumes. It will read the
source file in chunks, calculating checksums for each one. It will compare them
with previously stored values for the destination file and overwrite changed
chunks if checksums differ. This way, it minimizes the access to slow target
media.

Burp is a backup and restore program. It uses librsync in order to save on the
amount of space that is used by each backup. It also uses VSS (Volume Shadow
Copy Service) to make snapshots when backing up Windows computers.

cdw is a front-end for command-line tools: cdrecord/wodim, mkisofs/genisoimage, growisofs, dvd+rw-mediainfo, dvd+rw-format. It utilizes ncurses library to build user-friendly interface and it can be used in UNIX terminal window or in terminal emulator (like konsole, xterm, rxvt or gnome-terminal) in X Window environment. cdw supports only ISO9660 filesystem for optical media. Other filesystem for optical media are not supported nor recognized.

Cedar Backup is a software package designed to manage system backups for a pool
of local and remote machines. Cedar Backup understands how to back up
filesystem data as well as MySQL and PostgreSQL databases and Subversion
repositories. It can also be easily extended to support other kinds of data
sources.

Cedar Backup is focused around weekly backups to a single CD or DVD disc, with
the expectation that the disc will be changed or overwritten at the beginning
of each week. If your hardware is new enough (and almost all hardware is
today), Cedar Backup can write multisession discs, allowing you to add
incremental data to a disc on a daily basis.

Besides offering command-line utilities to manage the backup process, Cedar
Backup provides a well-organized library of backup-related functionality,
written in the Python programming language.

Dkopp is a program for copying or backing up disk files to DVD. Full or
incremental backups can be made, with full or incremental DVD verification.
Dkopp uses a GUI to navigate through directories to select or de-select files
or directories at any level. Backup jobs can be saved for recurring use. New,
deleted, and updated files are handled automatically, without re-editing the
backup job. An incremental backup updates the same DVD used for a prior full
backup. Large backup jobs can be done using multiple DVDs. A GUI restore
function is also provided. Differences between disk and DVD can be reported in
total, by directory and by file.

Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to recover and
calls an external program to extract them. It looks at "magic bytes" in file
contents, so it can be used both as an undelete utility and for recovering a
corrupted drive or partition. As long as the file data is there, it will find
it.

Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It features efficient backup to anything that looks like storage.
Currently it supports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP, and SFTP. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks, and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (making progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. It can offer online access to the contents of the backup.
Backed up storage is completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup, automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are supported efficiently.
Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote system to detect changes.

rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9 way of doing backups.

rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of the names of files that have changed since the last backup. It also handles files that are removed, allowing for correct incremental backups.

Auxilary scripts are needed to act on this list and implement the backup strategy. This way rdup can be kept lean and mean.

rsnapgraph is a utility that will analyze the snapshot backups created by
rsnapshot (http://www.rsnapshot.org), and produce two graphs showing file and
disk space changes over time.
* The rsnapshot-files.png graph shows the number of files created and deleted
between each snapshot, as well as a running graph showing the total number
of files in each snapshot.
* The rsnapshot-size graph shows the amount of disk space being freed or used
by each snapshot, as well as a running graph showing the total amount of
disk space used by each snapshot.

It's useful to know whether the snapshots are very volatile, and if so, which
directories are changing. If disk space is tight, then this can help identify
directories within each snapshot which can be removed from the snapshot to
save space. Plus the graphs are pretty.

This is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault occurs
when a program tries to access to a region of memory that is currently not
available.

STFL is a library which implements a curses-based widget set for text terminals. The STFL API can be used from C, SPL, Python, Perl and Ruby. Since the API is only 14 simple function calls big and there are already generic SWIG bindings it is very easy to port STFL to additional scripting languages.

A special language (the Structured Terminal Forms Language) is used to describe STFL GUIs. The language is designed to be easy and fast to write so an application programmer does not need to spend ages fiddling around with the GUI and can concentrate on the more interesting programming tasks.

A lightweight library that retrieves statistics of the system's activity in a
portable and thread safe way. In each OS that it supports it offers the same
API for retrieving the activity of: hard disks, CPUs, memory, processes and
network interfaces.
