BACKUP IN LINUX




                                                            BACKUP IN LINUX

Backup: ---- it is the for securing the data in case if it deleted or misplacing or lose.

                        Backup is automatically done by the system
            Or        we can schedule the backup as we want.
                        For this in  which partition we take the backup the permanent mounting is needed

In the LINUX the backup is done on the command line mode.
How lets do_______________________


To do backup we have to create a partition in which we have to take the backup of the data make a partition first



                        #fdisk /dev/sda
                                   
                        (command(m for help)) n ____________________to make a new partition
                                    Make a partition according to the size of the data
                        ( command ( m for help)) w ______________ to save n exit
                       
                        # rm –rf /dev/fd0 ______ to stop the floppys drive
                        # partprobe __________ to refresh MBR

                        # mke2fs –j  /dev/sda4 ______- format in ext3

                        # mkdir /backup _________ make a directory with which the partition will be mounted.
                        # mount /dev/sda4 /backup _______ permanent mounting is necessary for the backup

                        Because automatic backup is only done when the partition is permanent otherwise the automatic or
                        Scheduled backup does not work

           


Lets suppose we have a file in a partition 3  and we have to take the backup of that in the partition 4 then how to do that in command mode is below-------








NOW BACKUP______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



 
/dev/sda3                                                                     /dev/sda4
 We have a data in /dev/sda3 as

/dev/sda/jass/a b c                                                       jass.tar ____________ backup file

To take the backup of that in /dev/sda4





# tar cvf /backup/jass.tar    /jass  __________ this is to take the backup and when we take the backup we are in the
                                                                        Partition from where we have to take the backup
To take backup this (cvf) is special characters are used
 
It is the destination directory in which backup is taken or /dev/sda4
 
It is the destination file name for the backup file (
 
It is the source directory name to whom the backup is taken

 
                                                                                                                                               















To recover backup _______________________________________________________________________


To recover backup
 
# tar xvf /backup/jass.tar   _______________to recover the backup run this command in the partition in which                                                                            you wants to recover the backup again.







The directory or partition which contains the backup file
 


The file which contain the backup of the data
