The dd utility on a Linux boot CD can be used to copy file systems between disk images and disk partitions to effect a bare-metal backup and recovery. These disk images can then be used as input to a new partition of the same type but equal or larger size, or alternatively a variety of virtualization technologies as they often represent a more accessible but less efficient representation of ...

Proxmox Backup uses a client-server model where the server stores the backup data. The client tool works on most modern Linux systems. The software is installed bare-metal with an ISO image, which includes management tools and a web-based GUI. Administrators can manage the system via a Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI).
Copy-on-write. Copy-on-write (COW), sometimes referred to as implicit sharing[1] or shadowing, [2] is a resource-management technique used in computer programming to efficiently implement a "duplicate" or "copy" operation on modifiable resources [3] (most commonly memory pages, storage sectors, files, and data structures).
Continuous data protection. Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup or real-time backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. In its true form it allows the user or administrator to restore ...
The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Amanda) is an open source computer archiving tool that is able to back up data residing on multiple computers on a network. It uses a client–server model, where the server contacts each client to perform a backup at a scheduled time. [3]: 125-147. Amanda was initially developed at the ...
Veeam Backup & Replication operates both the virtualization layer as well manages physical machine backup. It backs up VMs at the image-level using a hypervisor's snapshots to retrieve VM data. [5] Backups can be full (a full copy of VM image) or incremental (saving only the changed blocks of data since the last backup job run). [6]
