This program can do simple backups and syncs over a network or locally.It uses tar and rsync in the background. Mephisto Backup was made with the Java programming language. The key feature of this program is the ability to backup your system to an image and copy it to a Linux Live DVD for future restoration. The user can then take that cd and move his or her system to any PC.
Feature List:
Automatically generates a new initrd image and installs the boot loader.
Added support for Fedora 12’s new initrd tool called “Dracut”.
UUID Support for drives. With the added UUID support, users will not have to modify /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.list to perform their backups. When creating a live CD, MephistoBackup will scan the existing UUID and assign the label/UUID to the disk when restoring a system.
* [1.7 BUG FIXES]
* ENTERING / AT THE END OF PATHS NO LONGER REQUIRED.
* ARCHLINUX SUPPORT NOW GENERATES THE KERNEL.
* CREATES CRITICAL DEV DEVICES FOR CONSOLE AND NULL SO THAT SYSTEM WILL BOOT.
* OPTION TO NOT RE-GENERATE A NEW INITRD IMAGE. THIS WILL ADD SUPPORT FOR GENTOO SYSTEMS.
* DISK USAGE TICKER DOES NOT INTERUPT THE MKINITRD OPTIONS.
* FIXED DATE ISSUE WHEN EXTRACTING TAR ON SYSTEMS WITH INCORRECT DATES.

The script below will tell Ubuntu to compile all the system updates. Before running the script, please install apt-build first (apt-get install apt-build). The benefit of compiling your updates from source will leave you with an optimized system for your hardware. Since most CPU’s are not used for their potential, why not do something when your “not actually doing something” ?
After installing apt-build, please run dpkg-reconfigure apt-build so that your sources and cpu is configured properly.
In /etc/apt/apt-build.conf, please adjust the following line to the amount of cores in your cpu: (The numerical value should be # of cores + 1)

I wanted to develop an application that can enable home users to take advantage of clustering. I spent the last week developing a Java application that can run and control Torque jobs. While I was making this application, I thought of adding cloud computing support. The name of the application that I developed is called Torque Commander.
What this application does:
1. Monitor and control Torque.
2. Monitor and control jobs.
3. Create and clone Qemu images.
4. Automatically configure bridged networking with your vm’s.
1. System backup and home directory backup displays the file size of the backup file. This gives the user the assurance that something is actually working.
2. Less confirmation when restoring from the live cd.
3. Various other bug fixes.
4. Over 3000 lines of code!
5. Checks for UUID and multiple initrd images before the backup tar file is created so that the user will not have to generate a new backup when it is time to generate the live CD.
6. Supports root partitions that are not /dev/sda1. This offers more flexibility and a larger user audience.
7.Added XFS support.

Features:
1. Backup your operating system to a Live CD.
2. Restore your OS from the Mephisto Live CD. The live CD is used by Mephisto Backup to Restore your system only.
3. Displays the size of your backup ISO and TAR file after each backup job is ran.
4. Blank DVD-RW’s.
5. Sync between locations and save backup configurations.
6. Burn the backup image to the live cd within the program.
