Backup in Linux...
Is CPIO or tar covered in the exam for backing up? I guess I am trying to figure how in depth they want you to know backup procedures and the commands to backup certian files/folders to a tape/hard disk etc.
This is defiantly a weak spot in my linux experience because I have always used third party apps.
I have been studying up on this area, but I am still trying to learn all the switches for CPIO.

They are both listed on the CompTIA objectives and you can find them in the Sybex and Linux+ In Depth books. In addition to Dyn's comment, that should answer your question.

tar with or w/o gzip, bzip2 support, is de-facto standard for backup and mentioned in all linux respectable reference material; but you should consider also some other utilities in day-to-day business backup, with incremental support, like rsync or rdiff-backup (which work also remotely) -

Wow, so I have been using the study guide from Professionals and that is one of the most well written review guides I have ever read.
This test is 98 questions and 239 bucks?
Wow, talk about spendy... I am debating on taking this Friday... I hate feeling like I am cramming, but since I have another apple training course next week I would really like to get this one out of the way. Plus the rest of the apple training is all server side, so I am hoping it should over lap.
