While there are some user interfaces available to make some of the system administrator task easy, you really don’t need them and should be using command line all the time. There is not a single task on a UNIX / Linux server that you cannot perform from command line. If you are a Linux system administrator, you should master the command line. Rule # 2: – Become master in command line and avoid using GUI – if possible In my opinion, both Sam and Jack are in the same situation, as Sam never validated his backup to make sure it can be restored when there is a disaster. It might sound like Sam who has a backup is in much better shape than Jack who doesn’t even have a backup. However, Jack doesn’t even bother to take any backup of his critical applications. Imagine that Sam takes backup of the critical applications regularly, but doesn’t validate his backup.
How would you execute your backup? i.e.
#QIC BACKUP FILE READER FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
What software (or custom script?) you would use to take a backup?.While planning for a backup, keep the following factors in your mind – If you don’t have backup planned, you should planned immediately. Every system admin knows very well his production environment may crash someday, it doesn’t matter how! So the way to be prepared for that situation is to have a valid backup.
