ExifCleaner is a cross-platform desktop app for cleaning metadata from images, videos, PDFs and other files. With ExifCleaner you can keep file sizes to a minimum and keep potential attackers from being able to use your GPS and device metadata.

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade backup system for backing up Linux, WinXX PCs, Macs and laptops to a server's disk. Features include clever pooling of identical files, no client-side software, and a powerful Apache/CGI user interface.

Docx2txt is a Perl based command-line utility to convert (even corrupted) Microsoft docx documents to reasonably formatted text files, along with appropriate character conversions. Apart from Perl it also requires a command line unzipping program like unzip/7z/pkzipc/wzunzip.

SortPhotos is a Python-based command-line utility that organizes photos and videos into structured directories based on their date and time metadata. It can sort files by year, month, day, or any custom format using EXIF and other metadata tags, making it easy to transform messy collections into neatly arranged photo libraries. The tool works with both images and videos, automatically renames files if desired, and can filter which metadata groups or tags to prioritize when determining file dates. SortPhotos includes options for copying versus moving files, recursive searches, silent or test modes, and customizable start times for when a “day” begins. It also prevents duplicate files by comparing content, with an option to keep duplicates if needed. With support for automation through launch agents or cron jobs, SortPhotos is well-suited for photographers, archivists, and anyone looking to streamline large personal or professional media collections.

The tool offers you end-to-end views of your storage environment including LAN and SAN and can save you significant money in operation monitoring and by predicting utilization bottlenecks in your virtualized environment. You can also generate policy-based alerts, view overall health status of your systems, reduce service downtime, use capacity and forecasting data - Real-time storage performance visibility in LAN and SAN multi-vendor environment - Historical reporting (graph, CSV, PDF) - Alerting based on performance thresholds - Storage event monitoring The tool supports enterprise class level storage devices from major storage vendors like: IBM, Dell EMC, NetAPP, HPE, Hitachi, Lenovo, Pure Storage, Huawei, Dot Hill, INFINIDAT, Fujitsu, DataCore, Quantum, QNAP, FalconStor,Ceph, Synology, RAIDIX, Qumulo,Inspur,Veritas Monitoring of the SAN supports Brocade, Qlogic and Cisco SAN switches Monitoring of the LAN network Try demo at http://demo.stor2rrd.com

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems. It leverages rsync and hard links to create efficient incremental backups, allowing users to maintain multiple backups without consuming excessive disk space.​

The filewatcher program monitors system files. Changes are archived into an RCS repository and change reports are sent via e-mail.

cdbkup performs full or incremental backups of local or remote filesystems onto CD-R(W)s. Results are stored as tarballs on single- or multi-session ISO CDs. It works either interactively for multi-CD backups, or non-interactively for single-CD backups.

Simplebackup is a cross-platform backup program. It reads a configuration file then builds a compress backup set, finally places the compressed files into another location (a directory, a remote http,ftp,sftp server or even one or more email accounts).

File Read Test is a tool that reads disk files or directories and stops on the first read error. A second tool, Quick Disk Test, fills a disk with test data and verifies that it can be read back without errors.

Amanda is the most popular Backup and Archiving software that protects multiple machines running various versions of Linux, UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It supports tapes, disks, optical media and changers.

GPRename is a complete batch renamer for files and directories coded in GTK2-Perl.

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

REOBack (pronounced as ray-o-back), is a backup solution designed for Linux users/system admins. It supports scheduled full/incremental backups, remote transfers via NFS or FTP as well as auto-deletion of old backups.

gdown.pl is a Perl script that enables file downloads from Google Drive using a public shareable link. It bypasses the confirmation prompt shown for large files and automates the download process via the command line. This tool is especially useful for automated scripts, server setups, or CLI-only environments where GUI download is not feasible.

Simple Movie Catalog will scan a given directory for movies, query imdb for info and generate a catalog in html which offers sorting and grouping of found movies by different criteria. Note: source code has been moved to github: https://github.com/damienlangg/SimpleMovieCatalog

A wrapper for dozens of archiving, compression and image-tools like tar, gzip, zip, arj, rar, ace, arc, zoo, lha, lzx, dms, adf, d64 and more.

Tool for copy partitions to another HDD. FreeBSD stores its data on partitions, which incapsulated in slices. Soft, such as Partition Magic, Acronis, etc. detect only slice, not real partitions on that slice. CloneHDD correctly understand size diference.

Previously known as Damaged DOCX2TXT, this GUI program will extract text from damaged/corrupted Word 2007 - 2013 DOCX format documents. DOCX files are actually zipped collections of mostly XML files. The main text in docx files is found in document.xml file in the collection. Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses 7Zip, an unzipper that sometimes unzips partially corrupt document.xml files despite reporting an error. XML as a format is unforgiving of data corruption but Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses a Perl routine used to extract the text from the document.xml file which doesn't care about well-formed XML, a recovery stumbling block for Microsoft Word. Recent changes include the pretreatment of docx files with InfoZip's zip.exe -FF repair command, improving success rates. Also added are links to other solutions. If you are unsatisfied with the results, try my other corrupt Word recovery capable programs here on Sourceforge, S2 Recovery Tools for Word and Savvy DOCX Recovery.

The goal is to provide a Webmin module to configure and manage the Amanda Backup System, a great backup software. It will provide an easy way to setup, test and run a complete Amanda installation, with the tools provided by the Webmin interface.

See the README file for more details.

arclog archives the log files monthly. It supports Apache access log, Syslog, NTP, Apache 1 SSL engine log, modified ISO date/time log file formats, and Apache-like logs like CUPS, ProFTPD, Pure-FTPd… etc., and gzip and bzip2 compression methods.
