Overview
Backing up data and configurations is a critical part of a company or organization’s IT policy. A system administrator should always have a disaster recovery plan in place in case of a loss or in case they need to deal with a network compromise or ransomware attack. It should be part of the organization’s overall security policy. It should periodically review and update when needed. In this lab, you will back up data on Windows, Linux, and BSD-based systems. Backing up data is critical, regardless of the operating system used.
