Burp is a network backup and restore program. It uses librsync in order to save network traffic and to save on the amount of space that is used by each backup. It also uses VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) to make snapshots when backing up Windows computers.
It is open source free software (where ‘free’ means both that you do not have to pay for it, and that you have freedom to do what you want with it) released under the AGPLv3 licence.
