Following, are FreeBSD ports, or other *BSD related projects, hosted, or worked on at BSDforge in the sysutils category.

boxbackup-devel
Open source, completely automatic online backup system for UNIX.

This is a port of Box Backup, an online backup daemon.

The backup daemon, bbackupd, runs on all machines to be backed up. The store server daemon, bbstored runs on a central server. Data is sent to the store server, which stores all data on local filesystems, that is, only on local hard drives. Tape or other archive media is not used.

The system is designed to be easy to set up and run, and cheap to use. Once set up, there should be no need for user or administrative intervention, apart from usual system maintenance.

Installation

Using the FreeBSD ports system:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/boxbackup-devel make install clean

pkg install sysutils/boxbackup-devel
