Backup Start menu layout is a portable freeware tool to Backup and Restore Start Menu layout, and even to Reset Start Menu to default settings in Windows 10

Introduction

restic is a program that does backups right. The design goals are:

• Easy: Doing backups should be a frictionless process, otherwise you are tempted to skip it. Restic should be easy to configure and use, so that in the unlikely event of a data loss you can just restore it. Likewise, restoring data should not be complicated.

• Fast: Backing up your data with restic should only be limited by your network or hard disk bandwidth so that you can backup your files every day. Nobody does backups if it takes too much time. Restoring backups should only transfer data that is needed for the files that are to be restored, so that this process is also fast.

• Verifiable: Much more important than backup is restore, so restic enables you to easily verify that all data can be restored.

• Secure: Restic uses cryptography to guarantee confidentiality and integrity of your data. The location where the backup data is stored is assumed to be an untrusted environment (e.g. a shared space where others like system administrators are able to access your backups). Restic is built to secure your data against such attackers, by encrypting it with AES-256 in counter mode and authenticating it using Poly1305-AES.

• Efficient: With the growth of data, additional snapshots should only take the storage of the actual increment. Even more, duplicate data should be de-duplicated before it is actually written to the storage backend to save precious backup space.

• Free: restic is free software and licensed under the BSD 2-Clause License and actively developed on GitHub.

The free, fast, SSD optimised macOS cloning and folder sync utility.

SmartBackup is an easy to use macOS utility to sync folders, volumes, or to create a bootable clone of your startup disk. It supports different configurations for multiple destinations, excludes, can archive deleted or changed files, and features built-in automation.
SmartBackup uses its own custom sync engine which offers several perfomance advantages over other utilities. SmartBackup will immediately start copying data while it in parallel still analyses what has changed. SmartBackup's sync engine then uses multiple threads that copy files in parallel, squeezing the fastest possible performance out of your storage. This makes it significantly faster that other utilities when cloning SSDs or syncing between fast RAID or SAN storage.
SmartBackup can sync between internal and external harddrives, RAIDs, Xsan volumes and also network shares.

This tool allows you to make an archive of your statuses, your favourites and the media in both your statuses and your favourites. From this archive, you can generate a simple text file, or a HTML file with or without media. Take a look at an example if you're curious.

Note that Mastodon v2.3.0 added an account archive download feature: "Every 7 days you are able to request a full archive of your toots. The toots are exported in ActivityPub JSON format alongside the media files attached to them, your avatar and header images as well as the private key of your account used for signing content." If all you want to do is have a backup of your data, perhaps that is enough and you don't need this tool.

raspiBackup allows to create backups of a running Raspberry. No shutdown and manual intervention is required. Instead important services have to be stopped just before starting the backup and when the backup has finished they have to be started again. Any device which can be mounted on Linux can store the backup (USB disk, USB stick, nfs, samba, sshfs, ...). The common Linux backup tools dd, tar and rsync using hardlinks can be used to create the backup. Backups can be restored on any SD card. An external rootpartition will be included in the backup. NOOBS images are supported.
