Performing Backup and Restore Operations on a Linux Server (XK0-006)

This lab aligns to CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-006) exam objective 1.6: Given a scenario, perform backup and restore operations for a Linux server.

By the end of this lab, you will be able to:

  • Execute a backup operation using cpio, including a compressed backup using gzip.
  • Use rsync over SSH to transfer and synchronize files between Linux systems.
  • Restore files from a cpio archive and from a remote rsync source. 

Overview

Welcome to the Performing Backup and Restore Operations on a Linux Server lab. In this lab, you will apply backup and restore techniques on Ubuntu and AlmaLinux systems using industry-standard Linux tools. You will use cpio to create archives of files, apply gzip compression to reduce archive size, and use rsync over SSH to transfer backups to a remote host. You will then restore files from both a cpio archive and a remote rsync location to verify that your backup strategy works end to end. By the end of this lab, you will be able to perform and verify backup and restore operations on a Linux server.
