Got a ubuntu box running in the back office, was curious if there were disk repair/recovery programs available for linux.

Looking for apps that can do data recovery, disk checks, backups and such..

Appreciate it.

Yes!

There are a number of utilities. rsync is what a lot of people use for disk backups.
Here's a tutorial on rsync:

This article shows a lot of the ubuntu utilities for such work:
